Project: Family Tree and Ethnicity Builder

Overview

Many family history tools struggle to provide a dynamic view of ancestral relationships, relying solely on static data entries. By leveraging MeTTa’s knowledge representation, you can design a system that not only maps familial connections but also auto-infers relationships—like grandparents, cousins, or more nuanced links. The added capability to calculate ethnicity percentages inherited from parents gives users a more engaging and educational way to explore their heritage.

Challenge

• Dynamic Relationship Mapping: Automatically infer familial connections such as grandparents, cousins, and extended relatives.
• Ethnicity Calculation: Compute inherited ethnicity percentages based on parental lineage.
• Interactive Visualization: Provide an intuitive interface that dynamically updates as new family data is added.
• Knowledge Representation with MeTTa: Utilize MeTTa’s framework to structure and analyze ancestral relationships efficiently.
• Scalability: Ensure the system can expand to accommodate large, multi-generational family trees.

Key Features

• Dynamic Relationship Mapping: Automatically infer extended family roles (e.g., aunts, uncles, cousins) using graph-based logic.
• Ethnicity Calculation: Calculate and display how various ethnic backgrounds pass down through each generation.
• Interactive Visualization: Present a graphical family tree that updates in real-time as new members or data points are added.
• User-Friendly Data Entry: Provide a simple interface for users to input relationships, ensuring minimal friction when building out the family network.

Impact

A robust, visually engaging family tree application can spark curiosity, encourage historical research, and foster a deeper connection to one’s roots. From casual genealogy enthusiasts to serious researchers, this platform can help educate, entertain, and uncover fascinating insights into family origins and ethnic backgrounds.

Learning outcomes

• Knowledge representation in MeTTa
• Algorithm implementation in MeTTa
• Atomspace manipulation
