Looking at this stuff again as possibly the best tool for creating a graph of a natural person's memory / life history #20

Claire,

I just watched the YT video and, like the other commenters, I thought you did a great job! - it was a professional and efficient presentation - with a nice amount of humour!

Maybe you can give me some feedback on my project. ATM, I am convinced that Graphs are the right tool for the job but when I looked some time ago I couldn't find much that would help me. I am on the Neo4j mailing list but haven't had any useful responses when I have asked quesstions about an appropriate forward direction for my project - which makes me think that it is not worth Neo4j's time to even respond to me . .

I want to create, as far as is possible, a person's whole memory / life history from all the text material they have produced during their life - before their brain is frozen after death:

http://neuralarchivesfoundation.org

We expect that the human connectome will be progressively decoded over the next few decades and that information in a sensible form will be able to be retrieved from their frozen neural tissue. However, it will be helpful to have an existing DB of their info which can be added to after the info retrieval from the bio material is done.

Ideally, as well as a person's text materical, it would be great if I could create a chatbot that the person could talk to to create conversations that can also be semantically parsed automatically to add to the "memory" graph of the person - this would be a a fun and efficient way of adding to the graph instead of tediously doing canned text stuff via Q&As in spreadsheets etc.

Anyway, it would be good to get some feedback from you about the viability of doing what I am thinking.

Thanks, Phil.
