Hi Jack:
Thanks (or not!) for this...
I think there will be a whole raft of people on this side of the Atlantic
claiming prior art on that one, let alone over there...
Cheers,
Peter
Head of Information Resources Management

|
| This one is a doozy. From [1]
| <quote>
| Kanisa Inc., the leading provider of knowledge-empowered customer
| service applications, announced today it has been issued U.S. Patent #
| 6,711,585 entitled "System and method for implementing a knowledge
| management system" by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
| The patent, awarded to Kanisa for its knowledge management technology,
| protects its multi-dimensional representation of knowledge, enabling
| effective searching for knowledge within a complex information space.
|
| The newly patented technique classifies knowledge objects such as
| documents, web pages, products, people, organizations, products, and
| links to applications into multiple distinct taxonomies. This allows for
| a rich multi-dimensional search and enables the full context of the
| query to affect the relevancy of results.

| The patent is found at [2].
| To reconstruct that enormous URL, go to http://www.uspto.gov/ and search
| under patents for 6711585
|
| It's a pretty amazing read. Sure makes you wonder...
