Hey Steve,


I have found the old posting of Ernesto, that you are referring to.
Currently I gather all information I can find.

* the graytree from Franz Holzinger
* the pagetree proposal of Ernesto
* the OWL matters
* the tag clouds

I try to workout a concept, to see how far it is possible to bring all
this ideas into one.

Regards

Elmar
