 So your index is as good as the markup? Fine. That's what markup was created to provide (the extensibility AS meaning theory). The human does the intelligent analysis when they tag and the engine dutifully records that. That is just another indexer, not a semantic aggregator. Tagging makes searching easier by leveraging the author's intelligence. What about content in non-tagged sources (say XML-Dev) and gamed content? How about correlation of hidden couplers? Show me an engine that can intelligently index because it can drill for insights and provide those to the user. In other words, a deep analysis system can find the root causes for failures rather than superficial causes as might be tagged incorrectly something humans do consistently well: promote superstition to knowledge. HTML scales because it is somewhat 'opinion free'. Although layout is a form of opinionated expression, it can be ignored. len From: Robert Koberg [mailto:rob@k...] Bullard, Claude L (Len) wrote: > Index what?

Google indexes HTML and it gives better rankings to well marked up (according to google) HTML (which is why small companies like us can get page rankings as high or higher than much larger companies). With an XML indexer, you can index glossentries, faqs, quizes, whatever and keep them separate so if you want to run a query against just faqs, you can. You can do a search to get all external links (we distinguish between external, internal and whatever other kind of links there might be) and validate them. You can also use the searches to do things you might do with XQuery (again, I don't know XQuery...). For example, in our CMS we have the concept of page regions. Content pieces are assigned to folder/page regions. Say I want to find out where a content piece has been assigned. I can run a query on all assignments to return references to the pages/folders where it has been assigned. You can do searches for all users in a particular group, all projects that a user has access to, etc.. etc... best, -Rob
