[Sigia-l] Web of Meaning

[rdalter]

This is a fascinating and timely discussion. I may have a project to work on
this problem. Does any one have suggestions on consultants in this area -
ontology mappings, metadata, semantic web, and searching?
Or contact me at robin at descriptive.biz
Thanks, 
Robin
