John and Sam - Thanks for the information. The research starts with algorithms. Once I see a certain kind behavior, then I'll move outward to measure it, interact with it, etc. My project doesn't have anything to do with search engines so far, but I imagine the resulting algorithms may be useful for such purposes.
For sholton - XML may be involved, probably as use of native XML databases.
