What if we extended this idea beyond one dataset to all discrete news events and entities: people, organizations, places.

Just like here you could get a timeline of key events, a graph of connected entities, links to original documents.

Newsrooms might already do this internally idk.

This code might work as a foundation. I love that it's RDF.

The New York Times has an API that lets you query “tags” or “topics” and the articles associated with them:

The Guardian has similar:

https://open-platform.theguardian.com/documentation/tag

Either or both could be an interesting starting point for something like that. I tried to find something for the BBC and was surprised they didn’t have anything. I would have figured public media would have been a great resource for this.
