"Each document (probably counting single poems and book chapters as
"documents" - not in correspondence with "files") would be part of the
"semantic web", carrying semantic content as well as text."

Guid ideas mah man! Ah hiv a wee bit o experience wi tha representation o
information an tha anlie thing ah'd say is ye huv a cloud oh information, an
the best wey tae hannle it is tae gie fowk as munie weys intae it as ye can.
So, gin a bodie wants tae hae a keek fur a phrase, let them; gin they want
mair contextual information, gie them it. XML is gie guid fur this, but is a
bit o a hied nipper! Ah've got a gie wee brain, an XML maks it gie sair! ;-)

Juist mind - "tha map isnae tha kintra"

Oniwie, gies a shout gin ye want a natter aboot ah this,

Best,
James Fortune.
