Ontology graphs, the intermediate language in web organization

The ontology chart is really the key word outline of a set of paragraphs, generaed automatically via semantic analysis. Every wed author should have access to one, there should be a generaor web site to submit out own text.

I have a little grammar I use:

Root.(organization.(department.controls,division.control),person..employment,hourly rate)

And so on. I have identities constants, * as in *.subtopic.  Then there are backward references to allow loops. My personal grammar here is just the schematic form.  Underneath y simple schematic, the keywords may reference a set of keyword alternatives, there is a selectable level of abstraction.

But the generation of an ontology by the author is the reverse of a search by a reader.  The reader enters some variation of a set of ontologies, and the original text is recovered.  Readers and writers on the web actually come to a loose syntax agreement over time.

The ontologies reside in XML files at the servers of search engines. They are constantly pruned according to connection number and click thrus. A user search becomes a graph matching exercise. We want is this process made explicit for semi-closed authors and readers, when they share a semantic.
