1. Title: Dark Web Vs Deep Web
2. Rationale
2.1 Problem Domain
The dark web and deep web are relatively deployed for supporting the
restriction/management of the information access over the internet cloud (Ehney & Shorter,
2016). The project would involve the comparison of the dark web and deep web concept. Many
people get confused with the terms and consider them as same thing. However, the dark web and
deep web have different aspects. The problem domain of the study lies on the fact of
understanding and developing sort of consideration using the various literature available on the
topic.
2.2 Purpose and Justification
The main purpose of project is to develop an understanding of the effective formation
processing for limiting the internet access for the users. The analysis would provide the readers
with the understanding of the operations defining the implementation of the factors aligning the
comparison of the dark web and deep web (Gehl, 2016). The deep web and dark web forms the
limitation of the functions forming the alignment of the operations defining the implication of the
factors taking care of the successful integration management. The websites and their information
would be limited for the formation of the activities.
The dark web is the term aligned to the limitation of the activities forming the influential
development of the activities. The dark web would be performed for easing the utilization of the
factors forming the implication of the improved development process (Lacey & Salmon, 2015).

The dark web limits a small portion of deep web for making it limited and inaccessible for the
users using standard browsers. The deep web is a term that can be given to anything that cannot
be accessed using the search engine. The hotwire searches are the most common example for
deep web.
3. Research Questions
The following are the research questions that the study would address,
 Are dark web and deep web same thing?
 What is the difference between dark web and deep web?
4. Theoretical Framework
The study would be based on the process of developing the utilization of the factors
defining the development of the improved functional and effective formation of the operations.
The various study materials from the various articles and books would be scrutinized for
developing the understanding of the final project deliverable. The framework would be
effectively formed for easing the development of the understanding the fact that dark web is a
small portion of deep web and should not be mixed with the main concept. The qualitative
research has been carried on for ensuring that the general analysis would be effectively formed
on the topic of dark web vs. deep web. The framework analysis would be effectively helpful for
evaluating the concept of the dark web and deep web functions and properties. The framework
would be effectively evaluated for developing the alignment of the improved and developed
functional alignment.

5. Methodology
5.1 Research and System Development Methods
The system framework analysis would be effectively helpful for evaluating the concept of
the dark web and deep web functions and properties. The various study materials from the
various articles and books would be scrutinized for developing the understanding of the final
project deliverable. The framework would be effectively formed for easing the development of
the understanding the fact that dark web is a small portion of deep web and should not be mixed
with the main concept. Secondary research methods would be useful for the supplementary
management of the factors aligning the useful evaluation of the factors defining the smart
information gathering. The qualitative research has been carried on for ensuring that the general
analysis would be effectively formed on the topic of dark web vs. deep web.
