[Wikipedia-l] The KnowledgeWeb

Sat Jan 4 15:58:15 UTC 2003

I just stumbled across [[The KnowledgeWeb]] on Recent Changes, and had a 
look at their demo, especially their demo search results 
(http://www.k-web.org/demo/search_results.html). It resembles "What 
links here", but goes beyond it.

I think it would be quite possible to have such a "view" linked from 
every wikipedia article. As brief contents, we could use the first 
(real) sentence of an article (that is, no table containing images, no 
language links, etc.). We could also display the first image of the 
article, if there is one. We don't have a "node type", though. (I tried 
to introduce flexible categories to wikipedia in the past, but would you 
listen to me? ;-)

Would there be, basically, interest in such a "smart browse" (or 
whatever) function?
