My concern is the IP protection, not too sure if the free/cheap CF hosts truly 
protect what I host there, if bad thing happens law suit?  I'd rather stay away

The thing is, of the two choices of my local ISPs, both blocks port 80, going 
for other ISP might be too expensive (I've got to be careful about spending 
money).

Were you not able to access my semantic search demo?

Re: Conceptual Search against Database(s)

2007-12-11 Thread d l
The thing is my ISP blocks port 80 and I don't understand the rationale of 
organizations blocking port like 8000 (if memory serves I think one of the rfc 
standard specified that any port above 8000 is recommended as an alternative to 
port 80, that was about 14 years ago when I first started to "play" with 
httpd...)
is 8000 and the like considered as security hole now?  Maybe as a generic 
security approach of permitting only a few ports like 80 for web, 25 for smtp 
and 110 for pop3 while blocking virtually all other ports.  And that seems to 
make some sense.

Thanks.

I'm shooting to host it as sort of SaaS service offering a free trial period 
and then charge a reasonable fee, and to be honest currently the cf server that 
hosts the demo is way too old like 80 years old :) I'm cheap, bought it cheap...

Also, a guy who's involved with the core technology is also helping me out to 
make it more accurate (he's the best of the best...)
I'll provide daily updates (btw, I'd like to thank the site owner for providinh 
such a platform).

Thanks for the great input and the SA pointer.  And as you imply in reality 
things are easier said than done.  Also, some times one may opt for more 
relevant results than more accurate results while others may differ... or it 
depends on context etc. etc.

I don't know much about conceptual search myself, but I know that there are
a lot of add-on available for Lucene to do all sorts of cool stuff.  I would
ask on their mailing list and see if anyone's tackled the problem.  

I believe there have things like wordnet plugin so you can probably get
synonyms, etc.

Scientific American has a great article this month about how the Semantic
Web could direct searches in just that kind of way.  You can buy the issue
online here:

http://www.sciamdigital.com/index.cfm?fa=Products.ViewIssuePreview&ARTICLEID
_CHAR=3734452E-3048-8A5E-1068474BA8D770C8

The example they use is "Search for Sitcoms set in New York City" and
explode that out to three clauses.  "Sitcoms" get matched "Television Show",
"TV" and many other things.  "Set in" equates to "Takes place in",
"located", etc and "New York City" is an amalgamation of neighborhoods,
nicknames and the like.

It's easy to over-simplify and damn the concept but it truly is interesting.

However it does reinforce a fundamental concept: truly useful searching
results from cooperation between the search engine and the content owners.
Content scanners like we have today (Google, Verity, etc) work wonders but
are always going to be hamstrung by the lack of contextual,
machine-understandable information.

Of course users also need to be involved.  As you've inferred nearly any
search which lacks a domain context has the potential to be poor.

Maybe.
But for one site 'energy' bringing back 'geothermal' may be OK, but on another 
site 'zen' would be a much better choice.

A better database search service on a small scale.  

And consider to ignore the noise of google this and google that (no one says 
google is bad nor people are not appreciative of their service...)

Re: Conceptual Search against Database(s)

2007-11-28 Thread d l
Update:
-- Have improved query performance substantially;
-- Add additional notes... 
-- If we're talking about searching against a specific set of data, say, a 
particular
data column in a database's table then, this approach, imho, kicks ass. So, 
probably
one could consider to use it against the most important data sets of a web app 
to
provide more value for data search...

I was the one who posted about Verity.

What exactly is your approach? How would I implement it on my site? Is it
