Actually, I don't think so. If you are talking about giving that sort of semantic search to end users, then I think that would be rather bizarre. Developers building apps for users, maybe. I guess someone who is publicly funded might choose to put some effort into this. > when something works a business model can be built around it Well, yes, but I'd rather put my time into something I think is more useful. The bottom line is that I think the delivery of semantic web technologies is about providing better material for the people building user interactions to make use of. After 20 years of web user interaction development, to throw away and start again with "semantic" whatnots is not a sensible way forward. > > have a good Sunday You too! > :-) > > P
