+ | **What's the point?**\\ | ||
+ | The goal is to find deeper meaning, within language and between ourselves. By acquiring commonsense knowledge from people across disciplines, regions and cultures, we can approach a singularity of meaning and understanding. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **How does it work?**\\ | ||
+ | Our approach involves collection and analysis of //idea sets// -- a set of dimensions used to frame a concept. The resulting "thesaurus" can be used to populate knowledgebase systems for natural language processing. //Developers note//: Nymology is open source, and a REST API is provided. | ||
