Sri Lanka Ministry of Foreign Affairs Launched Its Own Online Information Resource Base

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Sri Lanka has launched its own online Information Resource Base (IRB) through its website www.slmfa.gov.lk .

Through the IRB, people can collect documents, newspaper and magazine articles from across the world relating to the LTTE and international terrorism.

Part of a more extensive physical collection of clippings from over the years in areas of relevance to Sri Lankan affairs and foreign policy, the IRB collection presently placed online amounts to over 600 key articles written on the atrocities of the LTTE, its international network and international action against the LTTE.

The digitalization of the IRB of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been completed by the Public Communication Division in collaboration with the University of Colombo School of Computing (UCSC).

Each article is categorized, cross referenced and tagged with keywords for easy customizable searches. They will be accessible through the Internet with on-line viewing of the stored articles. The majority of components of software are developed with Open Source technologies such as MySQL for database and PHP for on-line content. The IRB online will be updated on a daily basis, enabling users to stay current with developments relating to the areas covered.
