Hopefully it will be submitted as an Internet-Draft for discussion by a IETF Working Group. The information from the semantic header could be used by various indexing schemes to help locate appropriate documents with minimum effort. These databases could be searched by cooperating distributed expert systems to help users locate pertinent documents. Such an expert system is currently under development at Concordia.
Documents evolve, replacing older versions with new versions or entirely newer documents.
As such there is a need to replace old cover pages in these databases with new cover pages. This could be done by a document created for this purpose which includes the old semantic header and the new semantic header. Since the current browsers have not implemented this feature, you will see them and they curently serve as a reminder of what is the syntax of each field of the semantic header. A computing system with appropriate graphic support. This document describes the contents of the semantic header which has to be included with each document.
