Corruption Sniffer
The NY Times has an article about some interesting software that can find inconsistencies in web-sites, in order to detect corruption; Government Watchdog: Software That Sniffs. Created by a retired programmer, the aim was to scan through the wads of governmental documents available, and flag those that present a conflict of interest. ""So much of politics is magic tricks: focusing the public's attention on one area while doing something else."" The software works when the person in question is involved in multiple overlapping domains, but not when family members are a deciding factor. This is probably best anyway, as most politicians around the globe would be found having a voting incentive somewhere! |

Document Reading Made Easy
Online Journalism Review has a story on the same topic. The entire article emphasizes the link with journalism and background research. But I'm not sure how applicable the technology is -- if at all! |
