Dear Sir/Madam, I have an area of interest which I am hoping the Semantic Web Interest Group may take an interest in. It covers some of the same territory as "web services" and the "semantic web". I call the area "exact search". It is an attempt to address the problems that web key word searches using search engines have. Especially the issue of irrelevant results. An "exact search" is a search featuring a number of terms where what is sought is a definition, explanation, translation, calculation or some other function of the terms such that the result is definitive, complete, authoritative, and optimally singular. I have written a paper on exact search. The paper proposes the development of a standard wws (world wide search). The technical tactics adapted by wws are: * The use of Relations rather than Pages as the basic unit of meaning. * The use of "remote service relations" which are RDF's which have "resources" which are "web services" which implement "language games" expressed in relations. * The modeling of interoperable distributed processes as processes which implement the same language game by implementing the same relations. * The use of search indexes or directories which leverage "service identifiers" associated with "language games". * The use of communication which emulates human communication by allowing communicators to progressively build on previous communications. * The use of communication which emulates human communication by allowing symbols to be freely mixed in new and different ways. * The use of "interpreter services" to interpret between processes running different language game versions or different language games. * The use of both Search Services, the end points of search, and Search Agents, orchestrators of search. The main innovation in the paper is to propose the concept of "language game" as a competitor to the concept of "ontology" in the area of semantics. "remote service relations" constitute the key technical device. If there is interest in this area, then I would like to have a discussion group review the paper, and then establish a project to develop the area. The url of the paper is http://www.members.optusnet.com.au/page7/exactsearch.html The paper is an incomplete draft, with work still in progress. However, I would appreciate knowing whether your organization would be like to take an interest in the area. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your attention. Best Regards. Gerard McGovern
