Crossing the Structure Chasm

Summary: Argues for crossing the “structure chasm” by importing unstructured-data virtues (easy authoring/sharing) into structured data via the REVERE system. REVERE combines a rapid data-creation UI, a peer data-management layer answering queries over transitive local-schema mappings, and corpus-driven statistics over schemata to bootstrap tools for schema/mapping development and create a web of structured HTML-derived data.
