Article on geographic information system (GIS) technologies and possible use in enterprise search & retrieval of unstrutured information. Authors know GIS system, but oversimplify extension to enterprise information. Or maybe it's the other way around, that is, I know enterprise information, but not GIS technology. The attributes defined for a GIS depend on the metadata assigned to documents. Attributes are obtained from automatic indexing software? Intersting suppositions and challenges for GIS technology. But maybe another instance of 'IF I WAS A CARPENTER - I could fix everything with a hammer'
