Even though dqsd is just a _search_ tool by design, I can easily get carried away and try to use it as a knowledge management tool, because of the inherent richness of information that (expert) searching on the web provides. However, since it wasn't designed for knowledge management in the first place, dsdq quickly falls short of helping organize/search knowledge. This fundamental issue is with the way the web is designed today: search engines search for data (sintax), as opposed to knowledge (semantics).
I read somewhere that several research groups are working to define structure and tools for a next generation knowledge-based web (semantic web). I wonder if anyone in this distribution list can share some thoughts on how far dsdq is or could be from evolving into a knowledge management tool for the web.
An immediate area that comes to mind is to write searches that rely on semantic search engines, if there are any out there yet. Any pointers?
