Abstract

 Systems and methods for information retrieval and communication employ a
world model. The world model is made up of interrelated entity models, each
of which corresponds to an entity in the real world, such as a person,
place, business, other tangible thing, community, event, or thought. Each
entity model provides a communication channel via which a user can contact
a real-world person responsible for that entity model. Entity models also
provide feedback information, enabling users to easily share their
experiences and opinions of the corresponding real-world entity.



Does this affect Linked Open Data too?
