The panopticon is an institutional design whereby authorities can watch any subject with a minimum of effort. A reverse panopticon makes it possible to better track the actions of those in positions of authority.

David Mason will discuss a system designed to collect semantic content and link it to documents as they're browsed. For example, it can determine connections between people mentioned on a current page - those involved in politics, big business or crime. Content can be collected and annotated through automated crawling or by a user browsing their topic of interest. An investigative journalist can easily edit and annotate semantic links of people and their association as they follow a line of inquiry. General questions can be asked from the repository of all the links they visited, such as 'politician' and 'Saguenay'. The tool's flexible design and open source nature could allow anyone to participate in creating annotators and add meaning, connections to content. The system can support individual or federated instances.
