Ok, so I've been giving this idea a few more cycles. It seems very dueable. I chatted with a friend of mine, who is an expert users of Wikipedia data (he's done a bunch of work analyzing the Wikipedia dataset), and he suggested that it should be possible to pair down the Wikipedia data set to something quiet managable.
Wikipedia pictures are going to be a problem space wise. Initially I thought it would make sense just to toss out the pictures, ie no pictures, but I'm not sure that makes sense for every picture. There are some pictures that would be very useful and others that would just silly. The difficulty would be in coming up with the rules of how to pick which pictures to keep and which to toss. Perhaps for the first round I'll just toss all pictures and work out the rules later.
One thing I should point out, the Wikipedia data is only PART of the project. It's just one of the tools that this platform should have. Other tools include maps and GPS, image translation, customs database, etc.
I need to spin a few more cycles on this but it seems like a good idea and pottentially has some military applications. The military application are more in the augmentation of human inteligence. The more useful data a military person has on hand the better decisions they can make.
