    wow, thrilled to see that whole new “serve more people” category – in fact, i was just reading some blurb – think it was walmart (not sure) that has like 500+ internal users/analysts digging at the data (or honestly, it may have been 5,000 total internal users, but a core of 500 analysts)…

    forget computer science – stats is the new cs 😉

    I almost never see any reference to the meaning of the data itself, I suppose because most folks with a technical orientation take it for granted. All 37 suggestions are incumbent (I think) on the assumption that the people using the analytics tools know a) what individual tokens represent; and b)what combinations of tokens (filters, views and modifiers) mean in their respective verticals.
    May I humbly suggest that some method for managing a persistent inventory of typed entities – including ones from other languages – be included.

    Thanks.
