....descriptor and bibliographic record. THE METAPHOR OF SEMANTIC DISTANCE Semantic distance is a psychological construct that has been used to locate concepts along various dimensions of meaning (Schvaneveldt, Durso Mukherji, 1982) Placing database records in ndimensional space, or docuverse (Das Neves, 1997, Wallmannsberger, 1991) has been an ancient and seductive information conceit.

However, they are still rather isolated from the local user environment and the other applications the user is working with. To overcome these limitations, we have ....
