Curtis Moore created MiniWiki in October, 2006, to prove out some theories.

One is that a simple network is worth more than the sum of the pages.

Two is that a wikiwiki engine can act as a framework to analyze existing web pages/sites/networks.

Three is that a semantic network can be built from statistical inference, and that MiniWiki is the way to browse it.
____________________
As of February, 2007, I have extensively used and theorized on the simple feature set of MiniWiki.   As a browser-based tool it is invaluable, for the flexibility and quickness with which ideas, writings, or systems may be mapped and easily recorded.

The simplicity of this platform is the critical element in both its ordinary usefulness and its use as an application platform.

I admit that my experience is more with the ordinary usefulness than with the flexibility and power of actualizing the possibilities.   So thus far I have proven the first theory, and tinkered with the second and third.

The second expects that metadata from a MiniWiki created document will reveal insights, and as worded is not my real interest.   Web analytics is a developed and difficult business.   For spidering, however, the system may have great mimic value, though this is untested.

The third theory, interestingly in retrospect, puts MiniWiki as the way to browse a semantic network.   Whatever use that may be.   Rather, I see the semantic network as being a number of links between documents, allowing read, write and execute capabilities for digital resources.   Push Play for the Internet.
