A summary of our April 26 roundtable on using the WordNet thesaurus to enhance the search function in Microsoft Office SharePoint Services (MOSS 2007). Paul Rosenberg, an intranet search specialist at a casualty insurance company was the presenter.
The April issue of the Knowledge Base Editor's Digest is unique because for the first time, each of the new entries is in a non-traditional format: an audio interview, a YouTube video, and two bibliographies in del.icio.us format.

This month's entries include an audio about the role of libraries in Web standards, a video tutorial on Web 2.0 concepts, and two lists of links in Del.icio.us format. See also Social publishing: a new Digest category.
