I wonder what the ideal websearching tool of this kind would be.
How to graphically display how different communities conenct to
each other, and to depict estimates of information
content/reliability? A good display should give much udeful
information at a single glance.
### Perhaps the Cyc ontology could be used to produce the map, or rather,
the data from the search would be mapped onto Cyc. Let's say, a person's
posts would be mapped on a catalogue of intellectual domains, you could see
that my published interests are related to molecular biology, and
transhumanism as the major domains, with links to finer distinctions of
neuroscience and extropy.
A similar way of looking at scientific data already exists in the form of
maps relating scientific disciplines and specific projects, produced by
citation analysis by the ISI.
