Our existing site would like to tag our catalog of 30,000 articles. Do you offer some bulk way to do this because submititng 30,000 http requests is a big waste for all of us. I know that bulk is possibly a sensitive topic, but we are legitimate - http://www.genomeweb.com. This is for our own content on our own web site, not for some reseller thing.Thanks.

Hi,
We have no plans to allow processing of pdf files (or files in other binary formats like doc, rtf, etc.) in the near future. These files are larger in size, take up more bandwidth and different users have different requirements for the conversion of these files.

I recommend you convert your pdf files to text files and point the submission tools to the text files. There are tools available to do this, some might be free. Here's what google has.

Thanks.

Right now we don't have an offline mechanism for processing a big backlog. But - we're absolutely fine with you submitting the 30K articles via the web service.

If you'd like to speed things up a bit drop me a note @ tague@opencalais.com - we can open up your transactions per second limits for a while and let you work through the backlog more quickly. Be sure to include your API key in the email.

Regards,
