I don't mean for initial creation from existing data.
Obviously we'll automate such relation-creating to the extent possible, 
as you give an example of.

I'm thinking more in terms of users adding information to the DB that 
isn't already there, for whatever reason (all data sets are incomplete; 
all automation has bugs; so we'll miss some here and there, etc.).

Was referring to that also in my comment on manual linking...based back 
in Stephanie's request for "real world" examples of relationships for 
the announcement copy.
