Hi,
I made some progress regarding the keywords. Unfortunately, I believe
that a plain keyword list won't solve much of the current problems; see
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Bib-Keywords paragraph 2.2
"Limitations of Current Keyword Strategies" for some reasons why basic
keywords are far from adequate.
I believe that a solution to this problem could lie in a hierarchical
keyword tree. Users would be allowed to create dynamically such a
keyword tree (using existing keywords) to enhance the capabilities of
the search strategies. See the paragraph 3.1.2 "Hierarchical Keyword
Tree" on the same page for a more extended discussion.
Because all this is virtually new land, I would like to open a
brainstorming session. I would appreciate any comments and suggestions.
I come up with another idea regarding the standardisation of keywords. I
believe that the ultimate goal is to have standard keywords, too.
However, as this will be difficult, a possible solution is to let users
specify their own keywords. Have a talk-back feature. Collect used
keywords over a period of 1-2 years. And build a list with the most
frequently used keywords. These are likely to be used more widely and
therefore could be bundled with future versions of OOo. Of course, users
could change this list and adapt it further to their specific needs, but
it would be a starting point for their own list.
Kind regards,
Leonard Mada
