Medical researcher discovers integration, gets 75 citations

Steve Derose forwarded a pointer to this post.

Highly recommended.

Summary: Medical researcher re-discovers technique for determining area under a curve, it is accepted for publication and then cited 75 times. BTW, second semester calculus starts with this issue.

Questions:

  1. Can topic maps help researchers discover information in other fields? Yes/No? (3-5 pages, no citations)
  2. Assume yes, how would you construct a topic map to help the medical researcher? (3-5 pages, no citations)
  3. Assume no, what are the barriers that prevent topic maps from helping the researcher? (3-5 pages, no citations)
