Abstract
Extraction is the inference of context from two sources of information: explicitly provided metadata, and automatically extracted features. Knowledge is the use of a large refer- ence fact database for further contextualizing an asset based on its descriptors. And scale, achieved through global self-serve, enables massively expanded coverage of the knowledge database and crowdsource potential for metadata reļ¬nement.
Together these components sustain a storytelling framework and a compelling user experience that has the potential to become the largest repository of cultural information and coherent narrative in history.
