Anyone want to hazard a guess at the technology they plan to implement to get this started?
Surely this is not designed to be written from scratch, so..
- Are they using known lexical & semantic scanners? - Is it focused on English language first? - What crawlers will scan content? - I'll assume it's an open platform, but license for contributors? - What database architecture will hold the graph? - How does it know the mark of authority, and is this primarily based on human input learning or machine learning?
I'm sure $2.5M wont touch the sides, but maybe if it's a well directed project, with healthy user contribution, based on interesting technologies they might develop a good backbone architecture. Ambitious for sure.
