Product Overview
  • The problem:
    While reading a document, some issues may rise:
    • A word or a sentence are not clear or understood.
    • Some contradiction with another part of text may be found
    • Missing information about the text
    • A lot of data sources about this document, probably resides over the internet.
  • The solution:
    Our project addresses those issues and more. We will describe the major aspect of the solution.
    Our product serves a community of users, which all work on the same document, and each user contribute his data and information to the community. The base of the community is the admins, they add the initial document, and other sources of information about this document. Each user then gets all the sources of information and starts to construct discussions. Each discussions elaborate a certain aspect of the document, and holds all the information about this issue. The users will add to the discussion all the quotes of text from the information sources, and will "Link" the discussion to the location of the issue in the original document (the "Root").  Each user can export and import discussions from other members of the community. By exporting discussions, the user contribute his information to the community.
  • Some Screen shots:
    • The root editor. This editor shows the root text, and all the linked discussions to this source.
    • The discusstion editor. Thie editor shows the content of the discussion and lets the user read all the data inside the discussion.
    • A detailed usage video can be found here: Video
