Semantic User Interfaces
The document discusses patterns for semantic user interfaces that can help users perform tasks more easily, accurately, cheaply and reliably. Some of the key patterns mentioned include identities not being tied to applications, using "spine" datasets to provide richer descriptions, visualizing data linkages to reduce cognitive workload, generating additional structure from vocabularies and ontologies, and allowing users to follow any link to view content useful. The document advocates for semantic techniques that can give users more flexibility and autonomy in working with data.

Editor's Notes
- #18 often visually impressive but hard to use low-level structure not conceptual structure sometimes useful “meaningful” at the right level of description: the natural view of something may be much more compact than the “sum of triples” graphs can show heterarchical relations spatial location & proximity should be meaningful - what does it mean to be near or far from a given node? “management” console!
- #27 Always needed? No, but can be very powerful. With great power comes difficult problems that need solving! And perhaps a key for leaving the walled garden ad hoc data juggling: forcing users to use a spreadsheet, notebook or back-of-an-envelope to remember and keep track of investigation elements and criteria
