26. The reading list

27. The reading list 1/2
While browsing the Web, I find articles and
books which I find interesting but I have no
enough time to read them immediately. I
want to put them in a list and then access it
later.
Problem

28. The reading list 2/2
I use Pundit to keep track of web pages
and books I will read in the future.
Solution

29. Personal archive

30. Personal archive 1/2
While browsing the Web, I find pieces
of articles (citations) that I want to
store so that I will reuse them when
necessary.
Problem

31. Personal archive 2/2
I use Pundit to save fragments of text that
I highlighted or commented while
reading their pages. My annotations are
collected in notebooks.
!
My annotations can be retrieved and
reused later.Their link to the original
pages acts as a bookmark as well.
Solution

32. Writing an article

33. Writing an article 1/2
Problem
While writing an article, I need
information from the web. In order to
collect and reuse them, I need a way
more efficient then the simple copy and
paste.

34. I use Pundit to look for info to be reused
while writing an article: social networks, blogs,
institutional websites and other resources.
!
All the fragments of highlighted text and my
comments are collected in a notebook which I
can browse in my dashboard and export.

Solution

35. Structured information

36. Structured information 1/12
Texts, paragraphs and relevant fragments are
hard to be retrieved and reused.
I need a way to find the relations between
them and understand if they can be used to
build stories.
Problem

37. Structured information 2/12
Pundit is used to select pieces of text on
the web and to enrich them with more
info. It enables you to create “atoms of
information”that can be searched,
reused, exported and visualized in many
ways.
Solution

38. Structured information 3/12
We start from web pages where to find portions
which are the basis to build “atoms of
information”.
Solution

39. Structured information 4/12
Each piece of text is annotate and enriched of
new info
Atoms of informations
Storia
Tipo di evento
Persone
Luogo

40. Structured information 5/12
Demo
I’m interested on racial abuses by police
officers in US.
I create an “atom of information”:
CBS Los Angeles

42. Structured information 7/12
Creating a story
But this is not disorganized information.
My semantic enrichment enables me to perform
advanced searches and to obtain results which
respond exactly to the complex queries I have in
my mind.
