We look. Search. Play. Tinker. Remix. Wonder. Dream. Yearn. Learn. Embrace. System One is evolving all the time.
We constantly integrate new features into our platform, but at the end of the day it's more about if it makes sense rather than if it's possible. It's a step by step process. In our labs it's the other way around: We play with new ideas, grow and share them. As demonstrators, prototype apps, open source and more. Expect lots of them in the time to come.
Prototypes:
Retrievr lets you find flickr images by drawing rough sketches of them. Finding images on Flickr is mostly textual (tags, keywords) or social (contacts, friends, groups). Retrievr is, like images, visual. At the same time it's our testbed for image retrieval algorithms, so that when you add an image to a page in System One, it gets you the potentially most similar pictures back in realtime.
Infolust is a new context search engine. It's for all those moments when you sit in front of a website and think "Now that's interesting" and would like to know more. Now this "More" is just a single click away. It compares existing web-pages with all Wikipedia pages and fetches up to 10 related ones. It's a first step of bringing our Similarity Engine to consumers for free.
Open Source:
Wikipedia³ is a conversion of the monthly wikipedia database dump into RDF. While it has always been our test dataset of choice, its wealth of information created by thousands of people all over the world also opens up new perspectives when put into a Semantic Web format: How to not (again) put structure or ontology, but people and their data first. How to meaningfully infer from the already known. How to scale real-world graph platforms. It's a foundation for a lot of interesting work.
