Indeed, the new energy boom is largely the result of yet another abundance information technology which is key to managing complex energy exploration and extraction processes.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates that the United States has approximately 318 trillion cubic feet of extraction-ready natural gas reserves.
At this point it is not crazy to imagine that Google would start doing entity extraction and provide an API so that all sorts of applications could be enhanced to achieve Unified Information Access.
For their part manufacturers seem largely unaware that a provision in Dodd-Frank concerning the extraction of minerals from in and around the Congo will mean that they will have to begin filing information on their entire supply chain to the SEC.
