Calais enhances your content with rich semantic metadata. Using your content as a starting point, you can utilize Calais to automatically add metadata such as entities (people, places, organizations, etc.), facts (John Doe work for Acme Corporation as the CEO), and events (a natural disaster of type landslide happened on date x). That metadata is generated in industry-standard formats that ease integration with whatever commercial, open source or proprietary content management system you are using. Metadata in and of itself is not too interesting. Where things get more interesting is what you can do with it.

Bloggers want... Blogging can be a business a hobby or a passion. Regardless of why you blog, it should be fun for you and engaging for your readers. Calais offers several tools that can improve your blog's tagging, incorporate great images and make your blog's contents more searchable. Calais for WordPress Meet Tagaroo, the Calais plugin for WordPress blogs. As you are writing your post, Tagaroo automatically analyzes it and suggests both tags and images from Flickr to enhance your post. You can select tags you like, incorporate them into your post, and then automatically search Flickr for images to complement your writing. Tagaroo has its own home, where you can read about it in more detail, download the plugin, and visit the forums. Calais for Drupal Drupal is clearly among the hottest content management systems out there. The folks at Phase2Technology have built a great Drupal module that makes Calais functionality available to the Drupal CMS platform. The module overview located in our Gallery will give you a quick overview of how to incorporate this tool into your Drupal installation. Riding the Semantic Wave with Yahoo If you're tuned in to the Semantic Web buzz, Yahoo's recent announcement that they will crawl websites and index semantic metadata is a big deal. Over time this will allow much more powerful and focused search capabilities - and we want you to be part of it. But there's a problem. Most bloggers don't have the tools or the time to create rich semantic metadata to identify the people, organizations, places and other items in their content. So we've built a simple tool that will do it for you.

The Semantic Network Service (SNS) of the Federal Environment Agency provides support for all questions concerning environmental terms including the common place names. SNS contains a bi-lingual (German/English) semantic network which consists of three components: * the Environmental Thesaurus UMTHES® with more than 50,000 inter-networked terms. (Descriptors and Non-Descriptors). * the Geo-Thesaurus-Environment (GTU) with more than 25,000 geographic names and the spatial intersections of all these places. * an Environmental Chronology containing more than 600 contemporary and historical events that affected the environment.

SemanticHacker.com is home of the TextWise SemanticHacker API and we're bold enough to call it the world's first open API for semantic discovery. Semantic discovery is a way to find information without knowing explicitly what you're looking for BUT "you know it when you see it." Semantic discovery does not punish you for using the wrong keywords. We built the API for clients and users to actively engage with our core technology - Semantic Signatures®. See our Semantic Signatures® in action on the right.
