This is an experimental application only.
This micro-application returns related words from search data relationships held in the Powerhouse Museum's collection database. These 'synonyms' are dynamically generated from realtime user interaction with the collection database.
The idea is that these word relationships can then be used to query other data sources. In this case we retreive images from Flickr™ to demonstrate the concept.
'Synonym promiscuity' is our term for describing the uniqueness of a relationship of one word to another. If the value is low (less than 10) then the synonym has a very close relationship with the word entered. If the value is high then the synonym is related to many other words (high promiscuity).
