The volume of information on the Web is so great that search engines return 10,000 hits for even very specific queries. Not all of the "hits" are good. I would like to see a subject code in web pages, similar to the venerable Dewey Decimal System in libraries. This would make it easier for search engines to keep up to date and accurate.

Mr. Durvin - great idea!
I like that! Dewey decimal to the webth degreee....
There really should be *some* way to 'officially' categorize, map, and search the Web, as unwieldy as it is and as unwieldy as it will surely become.
Certainly something *other* than the keyword system currently used/abused.

How do we find information?
