## Index Goals * First, as a navigational aid, I want an index... * whose granularity can automatically scale to the user's needs * that can bring us to the referenced passage in context (rather than merely point) * that allows instant comparison of referring and referenced passage * that can be re-presented in any form a user wants, from print to web and anywhere in between. * Second, I want an index that reveals unknown patterns and trends worthy of new investigation

## Outline 1. Citation marking 2. Navigating the Corpus 3. Using References to Detect Patterns and Trends

1. Citation marking

Here's what such an Id might look like in a Linked Data ecosystem. http://scta.info/resource/nyf6td-d1e1612-d1e5984@12-12

2. Navigating the Corpus

3. Using References to Detect Patterns and Trends

* How does a culture's thinking about a topic change over time? * Where do we see continuity in thought? * Where do we see innovation and conceptual shifts within a common discussion?

4. Conclusion

The End Thank you! Comments and/or Questions?
