Building upon an existing architecture for automated learning from unstructured textual resources developed by authors, this paper presents a Web-based user interaction framework encompassing three major components: (i) real-time visualizations evolution with time interval confidence sliders, (ii) traditional editing environments, (iii) multi-player online games leveraging social networking platforms in tradition purpose. A prototype environmental domain will showcase integration powerful search capabilities novel graphbased interfaces guiding novice expert users alike.
