That is, it would be wonderful if there were an "engine" that could tap each author's unique vocabulary by uncommon words and match it with other vocabularies. This would be revolutionary and a big help for those who have unique words in their vocabularies tied to disciplines. Not easy to do, but it would be interesting.

I'm designing over 100 courses in 20 Business & Finance qualifications using Moodle (my website is a typical Moodle site). Right at the head of each course I will have a window onto a Pearltree that organises the resources for that course - and is accessible to students. Now, I don't have to involve my five Lecturing staff with the workings of Moodle. They simply join the team on Pearltrees and curate the appropriate information that will be studied. In conjunction with the toolbar Dot on the Firefox browser, they can build a rich resource easily without having to learn about Moodle structures and methods of programming. From the students point of view, they have a clear set of resources that are always up to date; very accessible within their unit of study; and without having to leave the course and return to it repeatedly.

It throws up new properties that were not present in its parts. It is like hydrogen and oxygen forming water. We are unprepared for this when our education deals only with an approximate mechanical model of the universe. We need to shift our paradigm to understand what is happening. What I experience is an extension of my nervous system - it has been quite a profound adance from yodelling across the valley. Through the lens of complexity, the Web is emergent.
