Hi,
I'm looking for some kind of "poor man's CIA"... I'm pretty active in nature conservation and I'm looking to build a system which automatically collects information from publicly accessible sources, say press, publicly visible forums, etc. and analyses the data for certain connections and relations. Specifically, I'm looking to discover information which could help prevent poaching of endangered species.
I already have a very simple system in place that regularly pulls RSS feeds from certain news sources and websites and if an article or post contains certain keywords, those are stored in a database. That's a good start but the analysis is still a major task and it's not always easy to see connections.
Does anybody know any open source software which could help us analyze this kind of information? What would this kind of software be called (English isn't my native language)?
