But over the years this idea has been forgotten. Not entirely, of course. We have GUI. But most of objects that are important for our activities are not directly/explicitly represented in our computers. It makes difficult to relate information items. ]]> Wed, 21 Mar 2007 23:42:15 -0500 It becomes challenging to work with a topic map when number of topics grows. ]]> Sun, 11 Dec 2005 16:21:45 -0500 I was looking around and investigating different technologies/products which can be used for knowledge management recently... ]]> Sat, 01 Oct 2005 13:18:33 -0400 I really like idea behind Mindset research project ]]> Fri, 10 Jun 2005 11:44:21 -0400 I recently saw presentation of Parlano MindAlign for Microsoft Live Communication Server instant messaging platform. ]]> Thu, 02 Dec 2004 17:24:31 -0500 One of the most interesting aspects of subject centric computing (and smart search) is a relationship between resources and subjects. ]]> Wed, 27 Oct 2004 23:45:57 -0400 I installed Google desktop search (beta) last week. I have mixed feelings about it. ]]> Tue, 19 Oct 2004 19:33:00 -0400 One of the main goals of the Topic Maps is to facilitate development of a distributed network of providers and consumers of "subject centric information maps". Existing Topic Maps standards provide basic support for building this kind of environment: XML-based interchange syntax (XTM), scalable identification schema based on a concept of Public Subject Identifiers (PSIs), concept of topic maps merging and leveraging of HTTP as a standard access protocol. ]]> Tue, 12 Oct 2004 12:26:26 -0400 I read several interesting materials regarding search improvement last week: comments about Microsoft Search Champs conference, notes from Web 2.0 conference and Thomas B. Passin's book "Explorer's Guide to the Semantic Web". A lot of different ideas and approaches! These thought-provoking readings inspired me to elaborate on Topic Maps approach for solving search problem. ]]> Sun, 10 Oct 2004 12:52:33 -0400 I was thinking who can provide this kind of subject proxy service which I described in previous posting ]]> Fri, 01 Oct 2004 20:46:54 -0400 I was experimenting with blinkx recently and I tried to understand how close/far it is from subject centric computing model. ]]> Tue, 28 Sep 2004 20:25:00 -0400
