Facts, features

These two multimodal knowledge bases contain “ground-truth” information about ourselves and our ancestors; for example:

  • Typical genealogical facts, charts and diagrams from family trees
  • Photocopies of original records and record indexes
  • Family history books, papers and posts
  • Photographs of individuals and events

So far we’ve used this KB for RAG processing projects involving text summarization and generation. We plan to do more this year (2025), especially with the photos and other images.
