I've thought about how to connect the tens of thousands of OpenCyc downloads effectively and currently favor a super-peer approach. www-db.stanford.edu/~byang/pubs/superpeer.pdf I believe that a hierarchical goal based system could minimize bandwidth between distant levels while maximizing bandwidth among cooperating task peers. -Steve -- =========================================================== Stephen L.
