    • One can upload images from local directory or use flicker API (??) to obtain images 
    • Write a Python script to upload all images to BD (provide this code)
    • Let the participant use the python library 
    • Make sure OCR ( or Census Extractor) is running
    • Once technical metadata is obtained from BD, index it tags and technical metadata in an locally running Elasticsearch
    • Search for the image using ES query
  • Given a collection of text files from a survey or reviews for a book/movie, use sentiment analysis extractor to calculate the sentiment value for each file and group similar values together.
    • Write a Python script to upload all files from a directory to the BD API
    • Saves the results for each text file in a single file
    • Create  separate folders and move the file based on the value
  • CSV files, do some analysis using it.
  • Think of a R client for BD. (PeCAn??)
  • Think of a MATLAB client 
  • Want to build a Web application on top of BD, (Similar to what Marcus build??)
