About the Exopaedia

As was mentioned on the home page, the Exopaedia intends to provide information on all matters extraterrestrial. It will cover new sciences like exopolitics, exobiology, exosociology, et.al.. At present, though, exopolitical topics are given higher priority.

The Exopaedia is the successor of the Hyperbase. The Hyperbase project started in 1994, when a number of regression therapists from all over the world, who had all worked with abductees (as in 'alien abduction') started sharing information. The hyperbase contains information from those regression sessions, as well as from research that was done by a selection of authors and researchers who published their findings. Quite some information was retrieved from sources on the Internet as well.

The Hyperbase was primarily written by therapists who work with abductees, and for abductees as well as therapists who work with abductees. The Exopaedia therefore aims at a larger target audience, and intends to be better documented / referenced than the Hyperbase is. In that way, the Exopaedia could be called more 'academic' than its predecessor.

History

1994: exchange of information leads to the HyperBase: a database in which that information is stored. It was called Hyperbase because of the internal references (hyperlinks) in the database.

1996: program written in Visual Foxpro (VFP) + first HTML version online

1998: new program written in VFP to maintain the information. This version had different export options (html, chm)
+ second online version, this time database driven and in ASP.
+ CHM versions.

2004: new online version, in PHP and MySQL, reorganisation of the content.

2006: HyperBase Management Console: integration of Project Management modules: job lists, integrity checks, etc.
