From: "R. Martin Roscheisen" <rmr@cs.stanford.edu> Yes, two separate retrievals, and not only two, but one (for the document retrieval) plus n other requests to n meta information servers which serve m rating topics (m>=n). Martin argues as I would. If you want to read some more scalability arguments for group and public annotations in general, my paper in the spring 95 WWW conference is available at: http://union.ncsa.uiuc.edu/~liberte/www/scalable-annotations.html You cannot assume that a content provider will be willing to carry ratings by others. True, but if they do offer them, why not consider them, with due caution? Daniel LaLiberte (liberte@ncsa.uiuc.edu) National Center for Supercomputing Applications http://union.ncsa.uiuc.edu/~liberte/
