    Emailed newsletter March 2, 2010: Dear All, It is time again to inform you on the current state of our OpenDover project. Last 6 months we were engaged in some major overhaul activities. Since 1 year we are performing test trails, and are listening to "potential" customers. There was 1 thing they all asked for. Make OpenDover simpler! It appeared that the whole concept of choosing a subject domain, and selecting base tags, was to much. We also thought that this was hindering our penetration into the market. So, we went back to drawing board, and we have re-evaluated our system. While we were doing that, we kept on adding more subject domains, because whatever we would do, this approach of Ontology's and satellite words would not change. So, at least we can inform you now that we have a total of 10 subject domains, covering a large part of what is most commonly discussed on the Internet. Just to refresh your mind, we have listed them here for your convenience: 1. Economics, Finance, Business 2. Health - Medical Care 3. Law 4. Politics 5. Product - Camera 6. Product - Phone 7. Product - Audio Player 8. Product - Video Player 9. Product - Software 10. Travel - Flight 11. Travel - Hotel BREAKTHROUGH!! The biggest breakthrough came a few months ago when we modified our algorithms in such a way that we were able to auto-detect the subject domain of an arbitrary text. The next step was simple then. When we know the subject domain (or subject domains) of an arbitrary opinion text, we should automatically find the sentiment for that domain. It is then no longer necessary to use base tags. This feature is now available on OpenDover for you to test! 1. Just take an arbitrary piece of text expressing opinions (Or take the example listed in this e-mail) 2. Go to http://java.opinionmining.nl 3. Paste text into the story box 4. Select accurate in the Mode box 5. Select Generic domain in the Sub

  • “GoodRelations is a language that can be used to describe very precisely whatyour business is offering. Some people call GoodRelations a ‘data dictionary’, others prefer ’schema’ or ‘ontology’. But the name of the thing is not important. Important is that you can use GoodRelations to create a small data package that describes your productsand their features and prices, yourstores and opening hours, payment options and the like.
