42. … and Now for Something Completely Different:

43. Presenting… SEARCH 4.0

44. Search 4.0 … a natural social dynamic amongst the four key elements: user; resources; semantic mapping of metadata; user’s communities (their peers, users with common interests)

45. Search 4.0 In full interaction enhanced by the system, these four elements generate a dynamic social network, self-sustainable and with guarantee of future preservation, a social network not only of human actors, but rather the resources themselves taking the role of actors.

46. Search 4.0 In fact, resources were always actors, having their own network. When an author cites others resources, expands their “social” network.
