What is Redcaster?Semantic Web
The 'Semantic Web' is the concept the Internet is more than just a collection of documents with words in them. The development of the semantic web consists of efforts to 'understand' what the content is about, and to link it together with related documents.
Automatic Categorisation
Redcaster provides a system which can automatically identify the higher-level 'meta' categories that the article discusses.
Redcaster currently offers two distinct categorisation services:
Article categories
For instance, an article about Barack Obama and the annual state of the nation address would return the categories 'United States', 'Politics', 'Government'. These categories do not need to be specifically mentioned in the article for them to be identified.Related categories
Redcaster can suggest categories which are closely related to the category in question. For instance, 'Politics' returns 'United States', 'United Kingdom', 'Government' and more.Learning System
Redcaster is not a static knowledge base. It is a learning system capable of recognising new topics and concepts. If a new subject or person enters the lexicon, then over time this will become a category which Redcaster will start tagging articles with.
Free access
Redcaster offers a free account and an easy-to-use interface for news publishers to access. With this account, publishers can submit either their content directly, or links to published articles.

An experimental matrix of Web 2.0 mashups. Usage: Hover the cursor over any cell in the matrix. A small box gives details on mashups for that API combination.
Top links in hover box bring you to that API's reference page.
Links in body of hover box take you directly to the mashup.
Not all combinations have mashups & only those with the 'º' indicator currently have entries.
Cells at the intersection of same API (ex: Amazon+Amazon) list any other examples for that API.
Note that there are two views into the matrix: the default view shows only those APIs for which mashups have been added to the
database. The second view shows all APIs regardless of whether there's currently a mashup registered. It's big.
Definitions: What is a mashup anyway? As always, it's good to check
Wikipedia's definition,
but essentially a "mashup" is a web-based
application built through (creative) combination of data from multiple sources. Often, but by no means always,
this data is retrieved by using a vendor's API such as those listed here.
(An API? Also at Wikipedia.)
Some recent press may also help explain:
BusinessWeek's "Mix, Match and Mutate",
The Economist's "Mashing the Web".
Background: This is an experiment. It is intended to be both a reference point and also a visualization.
What you see here today will change both in content and form shortly.
I am quite interested in seeing the 'space' in which mashups exist.
Clearly, some APIs such as Google Maps, appear to be more widely used than others.
UI Issues:
Cross-browser support is good but not complete.
Sometimes it can b
