subject index
     
         an information resource that contains
        references to other resources, categorised by subject, usually
        in a hierarchy.
     
        yahoo is the most popular internet subject index.  like
        most other subject indices
       
     http://www.yahoo.com/computers_and_internet/internet/world_wide_web/searching_the_web/web_directories/,
        yahoo is arranged ontologically.
     
        subject indices are not to be confused with search engines,
        which are based not on subject, but instead on relevance,
        although 1 this difference is often possibly rightly
        hidden from the unsophisticated user, and 2 future
        integration of knowledge representation into relevance
        ranking algorithms will make this a hazy distinction.
