I see why they would like to apply learning web methods to make their links more effective. Our Vision BrowseUp believes in a Web structure more like what its inventor, Tim Berners-Lee, had originally envisioned. In this Web, every user has the tools to easily and intuitively interact with information on Cyberspace. Users can easily publish and make links from anywhere, and share those links with others. It is important that the Web help people be intuitive as well as analytical , because our society needs both functions.
Human beings have a natural balance in using the creative and analytical parts of their brains.
We will solve large analytical problems by turning computer power loose on the hard data of the Semantic Web. Scaling intuition is difficult because our minds hold thousands of ephermeral tentative associations at the same time. To allow group intuition, the Web would have to capture these threads - half thoughts that arise, without evident rational thought or inference, as we work. It would have to present them to another reader as a natural complement to a half-formed idea. The intuitive step occurs when someone following links by a number of independent people notices a relevant relationship, and creates a shortcut link to record it.
