Featured Application

SemanticProxy, created by the Calais team, makes it easy to generate rich semantic metadata for individual Web pages. Simply paste the page's URL into the tool.

With SemanticProxy, publishers, bloggers, developers and site owners of all kinds can:

Build browser plugins that expose the semantic content of Web pages for their visitors
Scan a set of Web pages and build a local RDF store for querying and display
Watch an information-rich Web site and trigger alerts on selected events
Embed the functionality in an online publication to enhance its search and navigation

Programmatic use of SemanticProxy requires a Calais API key (your current Calais key will work).

Visit the SemanticProxy website, where you can run your own demo to see how easy tagging can be.

Calais PHP and JSON Demos

Submitted by FranSan on Fri, 05/16/2008 - 13:51.

This PHP code (server and client) demonstrates how to use Calais with PHP. We offer both the raw representation of the Internet browser and a document viewer representation highlighting all the entities in the text. Download the attached file, which contains documentation as well as source files.

To enable your PHP demo in Safari and Firefox, see this posting from Pete Warden.

The example of a JSON wrapper – code that runs on the server and converts the RDF into JSON format - is also presented. We will be releasing (soon) a much simpler JSON wrapper (based on RDF) and another format is based in Simple Output Format, as well as a Java application controlling the Calais Web Service.

Stay tuned.

Calais Document Viewer

Submitted by FranSan on Fri, 05/16/2008 - 17:05.

The best place to start is with the Calais Document Viewer. The document viewer allows you to paste sample text and receive that text back with all entities, facts and events highlighted and navigable. You can also view the native RDF output and capture it for analysis in other tools.

RDF may be a beautiful thing for the representation of semantic content - but it is most definitely not a lot of fun to read. We've built a small (windows) application that will allow you to browse a folder of processed documents and see the types of semantic metadata extracted. You can download the installer below. The document viewer requires a current installation of the .NET framework.

Powerhouse Museum Collection Tagger

Submitted by admin on Thu, 04/24/2008 - 11:52.

The Powerhouse Museum is using Calais to automatically generate tags for items in their extensive collection. For a quick example take a look at this description of a surveying instrument. The tags generated by Calais are allowing curators and others to find previously invisible connections within their collections.

WordPress Calais Auto Tagger and Archive Tagger - Dan Grossman has developed a very nice WordPress plugin that automatically tags posts as you write them, and another that does the same for your archived posts. While the Calais tagging results are never going to be 100% on target, this is a great tool for improving the searchability of your historical posts in minutes.

RSS Tagger

Submitted by admin on Wed, 04/30/2008 - 15:08.

RSSTagger is a very interesting demonstration that allows you to ingest any RSS feed, tag it using Calais, and embed those tags in the resulting feed. Combine this with Yahoo Pipes, some filtering and a good reader, and you have a pretty interesting capability.
