specific topics Sift through sets of documents Understand data in tables

Yanukovych’s personal documents (in his lake)
How can we… … digitise the documents? … share and
search? … let readers tag documents? … find mentions of people, companies, dates, money? … see how companies and people relate?

–An investigative reporter “We're working with 40 GB of XXX
and would like to search within the documents for certain keywords (like XXX) so we can identify XXX. Ideally we should be able to tag the docs..”
