While I agree that the attempts at graphical representation have been
short-lived, I think they are valiant attempts.  While I do have
interest in how they help manage the Internet, I am actually more
interested in how they could function as an OPAC interface, particularly
as tools for pulling controlled vocabulary terms forward as alternate
words/concepts for the end-user.  And, I think if they could be made to
work with OPACS, they could eventually be driven by meta-tags on web
sites ...

I am probably obviously working on a paper in this area, so I'm just
throwing these ideas out there ... if they stick, OK ... if not, well
...
