The concept outlined above -- show me a map where this item is
located -- is an example of a service applied against found items in
the "catalog". Good! Our "catalogs" can be more than just indexes,
they can also assist the user in processes applied against found
items. Get it. Show me where it is. Compare it to other items.
Annotate it. Review it. Discover who cites this item. Generate a
citation against it. Summarize it. Discuss this item with others.
