Curated porn metadata

The Derwent World Patents Index is a database compiled by editorial staff.

The database provides a short abstract detailing the nature and potential use of a patent and is indexed into alphanumeric technology categories to allow retrieval of relevant patent documents by users.

This curated database turns what would be a useless soup of metadata from various national patent offices into a globally useful and consistent database.

Noting that the tags on Internet porn are universally rubbish, methinks someone should do a ‘Derwent’ with Internet porn.

One would need a team of experts that create useful and consistent metatags for all available porn. There would be plenty of job applicants for this one.

Once this is achieved you could have Pandora for porn and even online psychotherapy based on a person’s porn choices. Like Derwent the porn metatag database would be a huge money spinner.

The possibilities are endless, especially considering that porn is probably one of the biggest sources of revenue on the web.
