I would like to remind you all that, should Wintermute fail to get this data mining ability; all information will have to be entered manually into it. Thanks to the wonders of the world; manual input of most data is expected to take at least 20 years before the Ontology becomes complete enough for use; nevermind adaptations and modifications being out of the question > And that, compared to the vast amounts of > information out there in the world, is NOTHING.
