= !InfoGrid Project: Probe (`ig-probe`) =

The [wiki:Projects/ig-probe InfoGrid Probe Project] allows !InfoGrid applications to access any kind of data source on the internet as a MeshObjectGraph. The created MeshObjectGraph is automatically kept in sync with the outside data source.

This is accomplished through the !InfoGrid [wiki:Docs/ProbeFramework Probe Framework], which periodically invokes one or more [wiki:Probe Probes], each one of which knows how to parse a particular type of information into a MeshObjectGraph.

The [wiki:Projects/ig-probe InfoGrid Probe Project] contains the following components:
 * [wiki:Docs/ProbeFramework Probe Framework]
 * Library of [wiki:Probe Probes], e.g. for RSS, Atom, Blobs, VCard.

The [wiki:Projects/ig-probe InfoGrid Probe Project] is built on top of the [wiki:Projects/ig-graphdb Graph Database Project] and the [wiki:Projects/ig-graphdb-grid Graph Database (Grid) Project].
