  • Patent number: 8799278
    Abstract: A data augmentation machine may form all or part of a data augmentation system that is configured to augment data. The data augmentation machine may be configured (e.g., by one or more software modules) to access data (e.g., by crawling one or more public or private networks), extract metadata based on the data (e.g., from the data and its source), create a link to additional data (e.g., based on the extracted metadata), and augment the extracted metadata (e.g., by storing augmented metadata with the extracted metadata). Such augmented metadata may be presented (e.g., within a user interface), published publicly (e.g., on a webpage), published privately (e.g., in a report available only to premium subscribers of a data augmentation service), or any suitable combination thereof.
