Another wrinkle in a similar vein....

Sites will be evolving to the point where each user sees a different page
that is dynamically assembled from a database of information in the
background.  This database can house a very diverse set of topics, or even a
broad spectrum within a more limited field of study.  The point in question
is - how do you catalog something that appears differently (perhaps
radically differently) depending on which individual is viewing the material?
