10. A cataloging problem
No common agreement as to terms
No common agreement as to level of granularity
A linking problem
Some successes in journals
A financial problem
Few models to monetize links
Its expensive to do this properly
Discovery of the best, rarest, the most unique items remains elusive Discovery

15. Semantic Indexing 90% of the fields in most commercial databases are oriented towards the physical artifact. Who published, when did they publish, what was the title of the publication, etc. Although these fields are important students, scholars and researchers are increasingly looking to answer much more sophisticated queries.90% of the fields in most commercial databases are oriented towards the physical artifact.

31. Search functionality In the first 15 years after the Restoration of Charles II in England (1660 1674), the word antichrist appears relatively infrequently near the terms pope, papacy, and papal.
However, between the year 1675 and the time of the Glorious Revolution (1688), the words antichrist and beast begin showing up with high frequency near terms relating to the papacy. In fact, the word antichrist is the 2nd most common word occurring in close proximitymore common even than the words church and Rome.
Interestingly, with the stability achieved in the wake of 1688 this sort of anti-papal polemic practically disappears. In theological texts published in England between 1688 and 1700, the word antichrist is not even among the 100 most common words occurring near terms relating to the papacy.In the first 15 years after the Restoration of Charles II in England (1660 1674), the word antichrist appears relatively infrequently near the terms pope, papacy, and papal.
