The Logic of Change • Keyword searching in 1979 • Thesaurus to taxonomy • Algorithms and Inference Rules

Workflow in Research • Researchers seek solutions • Search must be cross-media • Mark-up and metadata must respond to the demands of the user • Data mining , searching unstructured data and data integration are vital to researcher solutions
Where are we now – in the aftermath of Web 2.0 ? • Community – in full flood • Workflow – proving more difficult than we thought ? • Vertical Search – vital , but did we fully understand the implications ? • Somewhere we forgot the drivers – productivity , improved decision-making , cheaper costs of compliance , better risk management – but our users did NOT
Web 3.0 : death by numbers • Commoditization of content • Democratization of creation • Information overload • New publishing forms – from 3D to mobile • BUT where is the MEANING in all of this ?
What do we need next ? • improved search dynamics , better taxonomy , more semantic recognition ? • OR RDF , Triples , effective taxonomic and inference rule environments ? • And is there a gradual , step-by-step approach – or a Big Bang ?
It is not the strongest of the species that survive , nor the most intelligent , but the one most responsive to changeCharles Darwin
