This bugs me because one of Greystone’s selling points is that you can completely customize their health information. I could rip it apart if I wanted and there’d be no worries. I’m not sure on ADAM, but I’d be pretty disappointed if this was the ultimate barrier to better functionality. If so, it definitely needs to be addressed.

I guess the concern is that if the syndicated content is melded into the local content, the copyright lines are lost.

Thoughts on that?

I’m game, we should probably erase our tracks and any mention of this on the internet. Oh wait, it’s the internet… woops

You can waste your time in France, I’m going to be in London looking out of my castle

Otherwise I’m game. Let’s build this thing. Then retire early on the vast amount of profit it creates and write blogs all day while sipping mint julips on the veranda, overlooking the Seine … am I getting ahead of myself?

Shit – at least then I’d start seeing the kind of tools I’d really like to use!

And yea, keyword associations are a half-assed attempt, imho – let’s get on the line to google! I’m gonna submit my resume to them tomorrow

And if not, what are you doing next month?

I think we may be onto something, quick Aaron – hide this thread! LOL

Also, Google could probably easily do something similar to this, but what I’d really like to see is a healthcare web vendor do something like this. Because as far as I know, Google doesn’t provide web development for hospitals

Obviously, this functionality would need human intervention to verify suggested tags and check for appropriateness, but besides that, I’m having a tough time coming up with a position as devil’s advocate. Besides the obvious that is – that any unattended or mislead system will get out of control – but if this system could not only learn how its content managers tag their content, but if it would also interface with traffic reporting systems to see how the site’s visitors are getting to the content in the first place? You’d have people concentrating on writing qualified content, while the system would ‘review’ the content, determine the appropriate meta data, match that data up against historical traffic data of similar content, and then determine the best way to put the readers in touch with the content … it really looks win-win.

This whole concept takes content management another step closer to becoming a singularity: write some content, then let it figure out what back-office ties it needs to establish to existing material. [A perfect singularity would have content writing then tagging itself. We'd be out of a job.] But this really is the next step in content management.

I’d almost put money behind Google being the first to come up with something that addresses this; if not Google themselves, then I can picture someone building this with Google’s algorithms or search appliance.
