Standford University scientists are perfecting an email system that figures out who messages are intended for and finds them whether or not the sender knows the address.
Semantic technology that understands phrases and relationships between words instead of simply recognizing typed characters can scour data bases and the Internet to track down intended email recipients.
Standford computer science associate professor Michael Genesereth and fellow researchers began testing a semantic email addressing system several years ago. It worked so well that the experiment will be expanded to the approximately 6,000 people in the Stanford Computer Science Department this year. If that succeeds the semantic email technology will be put to use though out the acclaimed Silicon Valley university's campus.
Several big corporations have expressed interest in the system.
