When having first contact with the material that will constitute your work, getting a first quick overview and comprehending the scale of it can influence the development of your process drastically. The reason for this is that, especially in time-limited projects, the first impressions significantly affect or even determine the creative and conceptual design that you decide for. Therefore, the fist contact with the material should be made with caution and calmness.

To develop an understanding of a complex topic, basic research - on/offline - is the first necessary step to take. Talking about the facts as a group and/or collectively reading texts on the topic can help in the process. If possible, the best way to develop a deeper understanding is to get in touch with experts and/or witnesses. In the best case, to conduct an interview or even organize a meeting as a group or a workshop on the topic. Also taking as many different points of view, even if you don’t agree with them, is an imperative to create a differentiated opinion on a complex matter.

To be able to navigate the material, you have to make connections in between the documents, get an overview of all of the existing data and from this develop a structure for the archive. We chose to categorize the material with content and format related categories.

While lexical search returns literal matches to a search request, semantic search "understands" the query. When compiling the search results, this search procedure relies on previously entered, definitive, metadata information and thus usually returns more accurate results. Multiple requests can be combined to create more complex queries. There are two different factors to the queries: Which pages the search is based on and which information is obtained from them. <ahref="#mediawiki">WikiMedia</a> uses a simple semantic language <ahref="https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki">"Semantic MediaWiki"</a>for this.

Under certain conditions it may be necessary to publish content without leaving a trace of identity behind. To protect the contributors and server locations also means working with some technical limitations. At our project, this boiled down to facing reduced bandwidth speed when accessing websites, hosted in the Dark web through the Tor Browser, and also because of the necessity of implementing a static website.

The Dark Web is a portion of the Internet that one cannot reach by the use of regular search engines. Users need specific software, configurations, or authorization to access to be able to use it. This shelter of anonymity is of a great importance while dealing with censorship and privacy concerns, and because of that the Dark Web is also oftenly perceived as a haven for criminal activities. Tor browser is probably the most used tool to access the dark web.<br>

Using the <ahref="https://www.torproject.org/download/">Tor Browser</a> helps prevent others from tracking your browsing behavior and user details like location. It is provided by the Tor Project, a non-profit organization. It works by routing all your internet traffic trough random nodes, listed in the Tor network and thus rendering the origin of it unrecognizable.

In the midst of the process of dealing with our project, the global society was overwhelmed by the outbreak of the COVID 19 pandemic. Several drastic limitations followed. The most severe impact this situation has had on our project, was of course the closure of all educational facilities and the need for social distancing, to which we complied. This of course resulted in before unknown limitations to our collective process. Due to these circumstances, our launch was provisionally canceled and we were given an extra of two weeks to be able to slow down the process and finish our project.<br>
