Coffee - example of Personal Knowledgde Base



In my previous post "Why we need Personal Knowledge Bases?" I shared some points on the value and use of personal knowledge bases. 


In this post I provide an example of a modest knowledge base about coffee as the main subject.

As an example we will use Wikipedia where the topic of "Coffee" is used in several hundreds of articles.

For practical purposes I will present here the top 50 articles referring to "coffee" as a significant subject.

I use WebSummarizer to generate the Visual Summary and Keyword Cloud to present the key finding about the term "coffee". The Visual Summary can also be exported to other applications such as content management, data bases,mind mapping, word editors, etc.

Exporting the Visual Summaries is a very simple. Just select the desired application and click on the button:
WebSummarizer export formats
Exporting summaries to word editors, web pages, and mind mapping applications

Additionally, the Visual Summaries and Keyword Clouds can be embedded in blogs and web pages by simply pasting HTML code:

Here is a Visual Summary example of the top 50 Wikipedia articles showing  the different contexts where the term "coffee" is used.

To navigate the Visual Summary:
 * click on any + or - next to a keyword in the map
 * or click on the Expand All or Collapse All buttons.   


To further explore the various contexts of "coffee" here is Keyword Cloud automatically generated by WikiSummarizer:
