(2002-10-01) Memesh Object Browser

I was thinkin about a new framing of the Object Browser idea the other night, now I see great similarities between it and Aaron Swartz's Memesh. I was thinking of expanding the Wiki Name auto-linking approach to every (non-stop) word. Some sort of implicit link which is really a quick string search through every record. Which may require a Rich Client, esp if you also don't want to deal with the modal jumping between viewing and editing.

Re: linking to every word...Every word exists just once in this world. So it only needs one representation (node) in the graph. We can drop search engines, as all BackLinks to every word exist all the time. (Manuel Simoni ms19802@i-one.at)

• I suspect there would be some nasty price to pay for modelling nodes at the word level. --BillSeitz (who may be letting some sarcasm go over his head...)
