Since I'm developing this type of site for several projects, this week I'm investigating a "pipeline" that includes annotation using the [http://gate.ac.uk GATE] software. This could allow importing many Web based pages. While computer software will never have the real understanding of a human, entities such as people, places and dates can be recognized, and  [http://gate.ac.uk/sentiment/ sentiments] can be read with limited accuracy, therefore ideally people will correct this information to make it more than statistically useful.

The process behind developing this site was interesting to me, and has invoked interest that may spark an ongoing project that can expand to include the structure of governments and connections between government figures and business. The semantic facilities may become more important,  allowing the site to interact in a reusable web of information. Hopefully this type of participatory site will become more common, allowing people to constantly learn and organize information past typical unstructured content today.

The semantic facilities may become more important,  allowing the site to interact in a reusable web of information. Hopefully this type of participatory site will become more common, allowing people to constantly learn, organize and re-use information past typical unstructured content today; computer-developed content that is often no better than a typewritten page or fax.
