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?
