Thank you
Should be able to id the <Title> of the report
And also the body text (slightly harder) should be sucked in.
[With Delicious this can be done by highlighting text when submitting - perhaps an option?]
Users score points for reports, and get extra points for more detailed reports
The idea is to encourage reporting and tagging of reports
Points are scored for Actors, Incidents, Institutions, but not money values, journos, publications
We should investigate use of semantic analysis tools like Open Calais to suggest Tags, Tags should also be suggested to avoid duplicate spelling etc.
