WISE - Giving poverty stricken women in Asia the power to communicate and create change in the 21st Century.

What information will people interact with to make this change?: Metavid is working on bringing in many different datasets to texture the online legislative archive. Metavid builds on semantic web technologies to enable high expressive data queries. We have began to import data from maplight, govtracker and the official c-span synced transcripts. For example it should soon be possible to run queries like: Show me clips of Californian representatives who received more than X dollars from companies in category pharmaceutical mentioning the word drugs. These queries automatically become rss feeds that can be syndicated and tracked in web portals like iGoogle or in video rss players like Miro. When combined with an expanding archive of legislative video, metavid should be a powerful data set for participants to interact with. Additionally it should support the government mash ups community with easy to query relations. So you can convert from govtrack people ids to maplight people ids (for example).
