Abstract
Information available online has exploded over the last 20 years, which has led to the phenomenon of information overload. This phenomenon describes the fact that it becomes increasingly harder to find relevant information in the sheer amount of information available, basically, the proverbial needle in a haystack. We have previously proposed a solution to this problem in the form of the WiPo framework that does not answer queries solely based on a pre-assembled index, but based on a subject-specific database that is sourced from the Internet, curated by domain experts, and dynamically generated based on vast user input; in addition, it allows a user to take the results offline (”Web in your Pocket”). In this paper, we describe our prototypical implementation thereof: An information platform that delivers high quality information to users, achieved by means of curation. Additionally, we elaborate on use cases, namely movie tourism and search and rescue as well as present some early evaluation results gathered in an interview study.
