<div dir="auto">Seeking better tools: irritated too. We have ways to get text, image, price/product, math, geo and video results from a search engine, but not meshes, graphs, systems (do we have good ways to make systems searchable?), and networks, except for social connections, perhaps. Where are 3, 4 and fractional dimensional results? I’m aware of what Princeton has shown with shapes. I think the main issue may be we don’t have good ways to query such things…neo4j query language perhaps? GraphQL? Are there demos on the web? SPARQL?

dozens, see Vince email<br>

no, they require a lot of upkeep and break or get garbled over time<br>
<br>
XML and catalogs preferred, inspectable and doesn't break.<br>
<br>
even better is consistent file naming and directory structures, ant just handles that. see our 4000 examples.<br>

if you wish - no problem with that, but not advisable as a shared resource.<br>
