Calais– Connect Everything

What Company Is Offering:
Calais is a toolkit of capabilities that allow you to readily incorporate state-of-the-art semantic functionality within your blog, content management system, website or application.
How It Works:
The OpenCalais Web Service automatically creates rich semantic metadata for the content you submit – in well under a second. Using natural language processing (NLP), machine learning and other methods, Calais analyzes your document and finds the entities within it. But, Calais goes well beyond classic entity identification and returns the facts and events hidden within your text as well.
The tags are delivered to you; you can then incorporate them into other applications – for search, news aggregation, blogs, catalogs, you name it.
If you’re not familiar with OpenCalais, the Document Viewer is a way to get a quick peek at OpenCalais output. Paste a chunk of text into the Document Viewer window, submit it, and see the resulting OpenCalais tags. Note that this is not the OpenCalais web service; it is simply a demonstration of what OpenCalais can do.
