    Well some wouldn't say it was a corpus, but Microsoft Encarta + other
    similar reference sources end up doing something very similar -- you can use
    the search engine to strip out thematically linked / many authored factual
    texts -- dead useful for pedagogy, and why not for other purposes ...
