This is a biggie.

We take a venue name, then we get suggested results from Yahoo BOSS for what page might be its accessibility and contact page. Then we scrape it asynchronously, displaying the results to the user. The user confirms or alters details and we end up with a very rich database of information about the venues.

This is hard and could be very time consuming.
