Presenting…

SEARCH 4.0

Search 4.0

… a natural social dynamic amongstthe four key elements:

1. user;

2. resources;

3. semantic mapping of metadata;

4. user’s communities (their peers,users with common interests)

Search 4.0

In full interaction enhanced by thesystem, these four elementsgenerate a dynamic social network,self-sustainable and with guaranteeof future preservation, a socialnetwork not only of human actors,but rather the resources themselvestaking the role of actors.

Search 4.0

In fact, resourceswere alwaysactors, havingtheir ownnetwork. Whenan author citesothers resources,

expands their “social” network.
