Quintura, Staking The Future In Semantic Mapping, by Gord Hotchkiss, Search Insider (May 11) - On the one hand, users would benefit from maps that show aspects of a concept (semantic maps), on the other hand they won't want anything laborious for developing those maps. Hotchkiss likes Quintura , a desktop tool for developing a query by making choices, but it asks too much from the user - and will not be accepted as an alternative to the big search engines.
John Battelle reviewed Quintura 1.5 also and considered it good for exploration but not necessarily a competitor to the main search engines. Qunitura Search Approaches Launch. (May 6)
