2. Overview Data Science for MyFamilySearch.org: – Site Map to MindTouch and Notes (see below). MyTableBox of MyFamily Tree: – Big Data is all of your content as data before you for action in a REST with Hypermedia Platform. Notes on Sections (sample): – My MindTouch Platform is based on a REST architecture and Hyermedia that integrates web, desktop, and mobile apps to search for a person and create relationships. I spend time on publishing my family search work and not on coding. I am building my own FamilySearch.org API from Entity Extraction like Google Pittsburgh! 2

26. Some Conclusions & Recommendations Data Science for MyFamilySearch.org has created a MindTouch version with custom notes that is searchable to go with the amazing search for Records that FamilySearch.org provides. MyTableBox of MyFamily Tree provides an interface to Big Data, which is all of my content as data before me for action, in a REST with Hypermedia Platform. Entity Extraction like Google Pittsburgh is the key to semantic search and linking in my MindTouch Knowledge Base, Excel Spreadsheets, and Spotfire Dashboard. More Entity Extraction from FamilySearch.org Records for MyFamilySearch.org Names is the next step for building out MyTableBox. 26
