1 point by NishanStepak 21 minutes ago | next | edit | delete [–] This goes well past libraries and into new concepts. Vannevar Bush wrote an article you might find interesting, As We May Think, it is the precursor in many ways to the internet. https://web.mit.edu/sts.035/www/PDFs/think.pdf https://web.mit.edu/sts.035/www/PDFs/think.pdf A book you might also want to read is The World Brain by H.G. Wells which is about a world encyclopedia. https://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks13/1303731h.html Some people say that this book helped inspire Wikipedia. However, classification systems are limited. There are currently over 13 zettabytes on the internet right now. This is more than any library can hold. We have entered the zettabyte era. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zettabyte_Era https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zettabyte_Era I believe it would take something similar to a multi zettabyte vector database attached to a knowledge graph of all the content on the internet and available content in universities and libraries to build a universal taxonomy. Artificial intelligence with human oversite would be used to create a self organizing map based on existing taxonomies like the Universal Decimal Classification or Library of Congress. It would fill in the holes of the existing system.
