Data Scope

Data Scope is a data mashup framework meant to facilitate the execution of complex search queries. Think about search queries like: “which websites name at least three experts from field X?”, “which websites support stance X?”, “what are iconical images for X in culture A, B & C?” and “which people are known for similar reasons that person X is known for?”. Data Scope allows a programmer to reach over walled gardens of information that he/she may need and combine the information into new information. Due to its nature Data Scope is very suitable for software that tries to break out of filter bubbels.
