I'm curious about the "copyright" field. Do you return the original sources from where Watson learnt the information he is presenting? What are the major sources? Have you faced copyright or legal restrictions to access information and has this affected Watson's ability to answer questions in a certain area?


When you create a Watson instance, you basically load it up with what they call a "corpus" of information. They are supposed to check the source of all your info etc that you have copyright to it. I don't know what it will be like once it is opened up more, but as of now they have pretty tight hands on Watson and will only accept projects with monetization and with revshare agreements...


Copyright is a tricky issue indeed and we are still figuring it out (working with publishers).
