<DIV><FONT size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I would like to talk about the location of the person making
the search versus the location of the product or service provider. If I search
for a product and I want it now, I only want a list of provider in a distance
applicable for my request. And if I go to Europe this summer and want to make
reservation or search for activities occuring at that time, the 'where I am'
specification change. If I have a secondary house and make request on the
week-end, I want the restaurant in that region and not the one near my primary
house. An identity profile should be include in the query and give the chance to
the search engine to make a better choice in regard of my age, sex,
etc...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Another part of the problem is a unique number identification
and I am not sure if EAN or SIC is good for that purpose. How a search engine
can parse a site or made a request for a product or service without a unique
product number. A hotel room is a 'chambre' in french. If I search for a hotel
room in Italy, I don't know the word for room in italian but if a room is a
number, I can search for a room every where in the world. The query interface
will be in my language and the service provider will build his database in his
own language. </FONT><FONT size=2>The query page should change for every
product. I have work around this idea for a time and came to the conclusion that
a lightweight page creation and manipulation is need. The <A
href="http://www.cam.org/~pierlou/prototype/tutorial/store1.htm">small tutorial
</A>that show how the parts fit together is related to a very premature search
engine. The left pane show the products in a store but can be a list of products
at a search engine site.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>What is XML-Data versus DTD ? Maybe the solution
is there and I don't see it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT><FONT size=2>I would like to know if
every product on earth can have a number the same way that every book can be
codified ?</FONT></DIV>
