By developing a relational database based upon input you limit the opportunity to dump info that's related but not requested because it's not accessed properly. I also know that there are some databases that have been developed to learn by input and asking questions to further find information.
Just my two cents for what it's worth. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Harrison [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, June 01, 2000 12:38 PM To: freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Freenet-dev] Searching To be a truly effective as information gathering tool Freenet must have some method for searching it. I propose you get old fashioned and use an (self-regulating)index. How about a set of reserved key words such as "movies", "Mexican History", "Political Science", etc. When a user posts a document he can choose to have it listed in one or more appropriate key word list. These lists could be managed the same as other documents. If noone added to or requested these reserved keylists, they could be dumped. The list itself could also be managed this way so that inappropriate postings on the key list would be weeded out. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
