MULTISOURCE DATA AGGREGATION

摘要

A data aggregation system and method. A plurality of data source options is retrieved and displayed to a user. The user can select data from a data source, and the data aggregation system suggests additional data. The additional data is retrieved and compiled into a timeline with the data based on date information. A smart storybook engine prompts the user for additional contextual information and incorporates the contextual information into the timeline. The timeline can be output as a storybook or biography.
