Hi Stef, In very simple terms I want to build a system that would look at what you are typing in a text box, and have various agents that analyse the text and modify/augment it. Simple Examples: 1. If I enter a web address it could look it up on Delicious.com and extract links that had been similarly tagged. 2. If I enter something that looks like a name, it would search google scholar, or mendeley and include links to any documents 3. If I entered "call david tomorrow" it would be able to add something to my things to do list. My - very early - thoughts are that I need to continually parse the text, as I type, and various agents would look for the things they are interested in. The question is how best to model this, and process the data. Cheers Andy
