We have all been there at one time or another. You are waiting for a page to load, a photo to appear or an application to respond. The little circle just keeps rotating but nothing ever appears. You jiggle the mouse – as if that ever helps – and wait some more. Is there a problem with the clouds where all your precious data is stored? Or have they become like the mall at Christmas time and are just too full and busy to be efficient?

As we continue talking about semantic integration and more specifically, use cases; here is a different kind of use case. Somebody in this case is uploading an article (and you’ll see this again in other venues) in this case a conference paper to the American Society for Information Science and Technology site. A prospective author uploads their paper, they fill in the blanks as appropriate, and up pops a list of appropriate taxonomy terms. The author, the submitting person, can then check off the list of terms they think are appropriate to their paper. Then the paper is saved, already indexed. They will have already indexed their paper, which saves people a lot of time. In any kind of venue, folks can do their own indexing.
