Online content management

This concerns archiving filtered content from online information sources (journals, blogs, $...$) with the purpose of recording their perspective on facts involving specific countries, regions or enterprises, key actors etc. We have recently explored such an application in a demonstration proposal, built using our XR model for XML documents with semantic annotations (currently under evaluation). The benefit of XR was to simplify and streamline the specification of document- and semantics-rich data management applications. Support for documents allows to keep an evidence (source) for facts and statements that may be extracted from them. At the same time, support for semantics allows to connect documents to people, ideas, trends etc. and to reason across data sources [9] .
