Hi Dileepa, thanks a lot for your mail.
At the moment I only want to provide a quick but brief feedback. What do others think? Your project idea definitely fits the general project idea formulated in STANBOL-1009. Can you tel us a bit more about the use case? Who would use such a feature? Which implications would there be regarding privacy? Would it be possible to use such a feature to improve privacy (for example by providing feedback to a user regaring his or her identifiability)? I would like to forward your mail to two other (public) mailing lists to ask for suggestions. Would that be ok with you?
