Suppose that a computer system generates tons of useful information
and plunks it into a public library. Further suppose that the
information is in pretty raw form; the uses for this information are
not demonstrated by far. One of the bottlenecks in showing how
information to be used is that you tend to say "this piece of 
data can be used for bloody well everything". Determining the
uses for the information may be a much greater task than discovering
the information itself. How can this information be organized so
that people can find and use a lot of it?
