NCSA teams up with U.S. Army to devise smart Web crawling system
When an Army trainer needs to quickly find information to put together a training session, a simple keyword search isn't always the most efficient way to navigate the surface Web. A search for "arms" would pull up everything from 19th century firearms to adjustable rate mortgages. It could take hours to refine a search -- hours that a trainer may not have.
