1. Method of enhancing collected online data to allow others to facilitate automated decision-making using such data, where the online data collection process is comprised of the steps:
collecting a data item from an online source;
collecting a name of the online source; and
formatting the data item and the online source name in readable text;
storing the data item and online source name;
checking the online source name to see if the online source is considered reliable, by searching online source name catalogs and discarding the data item if the source is not considered reliable by counting online references to the name of the source;
saving the online source name, the online reference count just defined, online data item, search terms (entity names and concepts) used to initiate a web search, and a number of search results returned, then putting these together in a numeric score with a constraint that the score decreases as the number of search results increases and increases as an online source reference count increases.
