Hi, (01)
This seems to be a recurring topic - though not less interesting for
that. (02)
Murray, I don't know if it would help you but sometime back with
similar ideas in mind I built a humble perl script that indexed
purple-numbered web pages, using a simple but effective technique
(that if I recall correctly was suggested by blinc or Dorai) of
grabbing all the significant words between stopwords, and then spat
out an unmerged Topic Map. It probably wouldn't take much to convert
it to perform the <meta> insertions as it goes. If you'd like the
code I can dig it out. Combined with an NLP parser for word/phrase
class indication, it might do interesting things. (In that other
life, where we have time to do stuff...) (03)
I have this thought on my mind concerning WikiWords: Can Cyc read
Wikipedia.org? Answer: yes, probably, because Wikipedia is only using
the WikiWords for the content of the link, not the display text. (04)
(Your sig made me laugh, btw. Thanks. :) (05)
Best,
