Use cases
The reading list The personal archive
Writing an article Structured informations
The reading list
The reading list 1/2
While browsing the Web, I find articles and books which I find interesting but I have no
enough time to read them immediately. I want to put them in a list and then access it
later.
Problem
The reading list 2/2
I use Pundit to keep track of web pages and books I will read in the future.
Solution
Personal archive
Personal archive 1/2
While browsing the Web, I find pieces of articles (citations) that I want to store so that I will reuse them when
necessary.
Problem
Personal archive 2/2
I use Pundit to save fragments of text that I highlighted or commented while
reading their pages. My annotations are collected in notebooks.
!
My annotations can be retrieved and reused later. Their link to the original
pages acts as a bookmark as well.
Solution
Writing an article
Writing an article 1/2Problem
While writing an article, I need information from the web. In order to collect and reuse them, I need a way
more efficient then the simple copy and paste.
I use Pundit to look for info to be reused while writing an article: social networks, blogs,
institutional websites and other resources. !
All the fragments of highlighted text and my comments are collected in a notebook which I
can browse in my dashboard and export.
Writing an article 2/2Solution
Structured information
Structured information 1/12
Texts, paragraphs and relevant fragments are hard to be retrieved and reused.
I need a way to find the relations between them and understand if they can be used to
build stories.
Problem
Structured information 2/12
Pundit is used to select pieces of text on the web and to enrich them with more info. It enables you to create “atoms of
information” that can be searched, reused, exported and visualized in many
ways.
Solution
Structured information 3/12
We start from web pages where to find portions which are the basis to build “atoms of
information”.
Solution
Structured information 4/12
Each piece of text is annotate and enriched of new info

I’m interested on racial abuses by police officers in US.
I create an “atom of information”: CBS Los Angeles

Structured information 7/12Creating a story
But this is not disorganized information. My semantic enrichment enables me to perform advanced searches and to obtain results which
respond exactly to the complex queries I have in my mind.
What am I interested in? !
