What is Cheshire?

Cheshire is a series of information retrieval engines developed over the past 15 years by UC Berkeley and the University of Liverpool. Cheshire3, the current incarnation, is more aptly described as an Information Analysis Framework that extends the capabilities of previous versions into areas such as data mining, text mining and document analysis. The scalability of Cheshire3 is greatly increased through the integration of distributed processing models and a flexible internal architecture. Its primary aim is to provide an environment in which building customised information-centric services is fast and painless, without needing to know the exact details of how every component in the system operates.
