The Human Brain, on one hand, is an active medium where we store data, detect relationships, connect them and synthesize higher order percepts, as needed and on demand. Connecting and leveraging information from multiple brains all at once is a challenge, even under the supervision of a master of brain-storming.The Internet, on the other hand, is vast federated data store, growing at a rate defying our abilities to make sense, necessarily, curated by multiple brains, all at once. This untapped data offers a lot of promise to enrich our lives, if only the relationship between the datacan be identified, connected, summarized and synthesized, just as our brain does.The vastness and observed growth rate demands that the process of identification and synthesis be automatic, withouthuman assistance for the most part. However, occasional and intermittent curation are desirable, as in wiki, but not required.

Choice is context sensitiveIf I were to ask you how far is Central Park North,Our brain would choose View A and say 11 stops on the line
If on the other hand if the question how to get to Museum of Natural History, our brain would choose B.Our goal is to construct a web service that can construct a context sensitive solution ...

Visualization and comprehension helpCognitive assist

Two experimentsSuppose I wish to know how big the US economy is, relative to world economyOrHow big is the continent of Africa in land area relative to other regions...
Information exists but not in a form that can answer this readily.It is in a form conducive to computing not reasoning or comprehension.

Tabular and volumonous

Wiki gives me accuracy, not comprehension
But it is tedious...This picture tells me USEconomy is
equal to the sum of 52 nation states.

Visualization Specialized topic beyond charts and plots with lot of foundation relating to human cognition and how the mind/brain works Visual medium
70% of all the information we consume is visual

Comprehension helpCognitive assist
Taxation in retirement and States
There is lot of information available over the internet, often confusingconflicting and overwhelmingWe could say so, for just about any topicIt has become impossible to find the information we needand in a form suitable for human consumption or comprehension in general
Make no mistake, this is all nothing but old wine in new bottle...starting from Bush-Memex(1950s), DARPA DICE (1980s), I-DAM/DISHA (1990s), DOOLLI and now cOgS.
