Yes, accessible, extensible, and controlled Metadata
Yes, the answer is ?Metadata? --- Tags, Annotations, Typing, Weighting etc. They should be accessible to ?Information Seekers? ?Authors & Editors of Information? and ?Programs that create and operate on Metadata?. In addition, such metadata should be ?controlled?, that is, amenable for ?Defining, modifying and extending? by information seekers, authors, and referees under the ?control of an editor? for each domain of knowledge. All documents tagged with ?controlled metadata? can then be assessed and ranked by programs in response to ?structured queries using some of the controlled metadata?. It needs ?one-time semi-automatic effort? but the benefits are recurring for every information seeker and every query.

Apple?s Spotlight is doing it in a way at the OS level. But it can be OS independent also.

Let?s work together.
