THE APPROACH

At a rather shallow level, the approach can be outlined as listed below:

For data reliability, we may consider using Wikipedia as a better facts source where mutual moderation is perpetually forced. The grand scheme is to crawl pages and not to index and summarise them, but rather to accumulate knowledge, much like a human reader would do. It is always worth remembering (caching) sources of information to refer the reader back to. This would establish confidence and further breadth for the user's mind. Better priority should be given to pages with stronger PageRank et al., i.e. pages with more inbound links. Moreover, it is worth using age of domains, professional affiliation and so forth as factors; all of these are also worth scoring accumulatively. Impact should be emphasised as an important aspect in oder to avoid false facts from ever being absorbed as truthful ones.

As for the user's side, voting mechanism can be used by the engines or even explicit queries made in natural language and then interpreted logically (first order predicates). For example, the user can ask a question or provide some query terms. He/she will consequently get answers sorted by certainty of response/answer with relevant links/pointer to the sources; snippets as well can be attached to answers if cache is available to access.
