John,
I’ve read of such serendipity occurring within a number of different applications. One way I believe it can happen is any time a user tags a large amount of data and then browses or queries based on those tags. I believe I’ve read about it in InfoHandler and within Zoot. I believe Manfred has mentioned it a few times over the years in regards to ConnectedText. I’ve seen it happen myself in WikidPad.
Someone recently mentioned recently on this forum a “critical mass” of structured data and serendipity showing new relations; unfortunately, I don’t remember who it was, the context, or the application.
I’m sure others here can give more specific examples of such beneficial data structures and applications.
Regards,
Wes
