Vlad, My response was to the following message
====================== Ed, This line of data gathering is very interesting to me as well, though I found quickly that using all web sources quickly devolved into insanity. By using scanned text novels, I was able to extract lots of relational information on a range of topics. With a well defined ontology system, and some human overview, a large amount of information can be extracted and many probabilities learned. James ========================= so I was asking what sort of knowledge he had extracted as part of the "lots of relational information on a range of topics".

So you assertion doesn't cut the viability of knowledge extraction for various purposes, and without that it's not clear what you actually mean.
