A major paradigm in our human existence is mining. Mining in its basic form is the extraction if valuable... materials. Although linked historically to minerals it has now been expanded into the knowledge domain. The link itself is if the utmost importance in its social classification - it reflects its rise into the ranks of economic importance just as its historic counterpart.
Although there are automated ways that sift through social media looking for arbitrary links based on a concept of repetition and vocalized interest, it still seems to be focused at a scale limited in perception. Of interest too, this same activity is a threat depending on the knowledge management system containing this paradigm.
Extracting value seems to be an underlying activity regardless of the nature of the material. The mining process is limited and confined to major knowledge management activities and subject to predominate historic perceptions. The way the mining is done is critical in the social context of how it is perceived but all mining activity exists within the confines of our human experience.
