I am interesting in doing some basic work on forum,

I have sketched out the architecture for a knowledge browser,
it has to be hooked up to an indexing system.
We need to be able to full text index many documents that make up a
knowledgebase. We need to also convert all the relevant documents into
easy to read files.

The different files can be first converted into xml or html, and
referenced by RDF. That is the creating of an index.

Now the key part is this :
1. We need a central key system that has simple rdf descriptions of
concepts. 
2. The key concepts are hooked into the indexing system, so you can
find  documents based on the keys. 
3. The different documents are then related by the relationships
between the key and you can filter them down using the relationships.

All of this uses the interactive forum system.

is is possible?
