If there exists a search technology that is so accurate that it never finds
irrelevant documents and always finds all of the relevant ones, we'd like
to buy it. Any time you ask a more accurate question of a good search
engine, you'll get more accurate results, regardless of whether you're
using a "true" semantic network, knowledgebase, Cliff Notes or anything
else that helps define the concept on which you searching.
In any event, this isn't the place to flog our products, features, etc.
One of the things that I'd find really interesting would be research into
the construction of semantic networks or other knowledgebases from Web
topology. That would be a fascinating byproduct of a spider's
explorations. I only know of one experiment along those lines, being done
by one of our customers. Anyone else looking at this?
