I just want to note, that Google does exactly that: it finds analogies to your search queries in any context. Sometimes Google is better than humans in finding analogies (because of huge knowledge base), sometimes it's worse, because Google is missing some mental processes that humans have. In any case, Google already works quite well -- why not use Google's approach as a starting point for further improvements. ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=67388357-0f13ca
