A new knowledge creation application isdescribed that significantly improves the utility ofavailable public records and enhances the ability ofcitizens to use them to ensure better and more consistentgovernmental outcomes. The application, called Minutes-n-Motion, uses neural net search algorithms to createmultidimensional knowledge cubes inserted into a user-friendlyinterface to allow user-defined structuring ofpublic information.
