Reuters Open Calais Update: Apps Progress, Interview
A month ago we wrote about Reuters launching an API called Open Calais, a technology that "does a semantic markup on unstructured HTML documents - recognizing people, places, companies, and events." I mentioned Calais in my Media08 presentation last week entitled Web Technology Trends for 2008 and Beyond. It generated interest in the media-focused audience I presented to, so in this post we follow up with Reuters and ask what progress is being made. Specifically we look at what apps have been built so far on Calais and get feedback from Reuters' Tom Tague.
Reuters Wants The World To Be Tagged
As Richard MacManus recently predicted, in 2008 we'll witness the rise of semantic web services. From the native support for Microformats in Firefox 3,
to the New York Times' utilization of rich headers metadata, to this week's release of the Social Graph API by Google,
semantics are starting to slip onto the web. The impact is being felt because large companies are really starting to focus on structured information.
In the same vein, last week Reuters - an international business and financial news giant - launched an API called Open Calais.
