No technical or theoretical reason, yes. GBS is doing it, with
structured metadata provided by you know who. One of the reasons
for us is that we don't have the full text and won't get it.

Even bigger, it appears, than what mighty GBS is capable of doing. Or
willing to do, their mind being wired in a way they won't do anything
that would need additional intellectual input. They believe in
algorithms and big-scale statistics, nothing else. In itself, a most
interesting exercise.
