Reuters Releases Open API for New Calais Web Service: Supports Rapid Development of Semantic Applications with Open

NEW YORK (Business Wire EON) January 29, 2008 -- The Calais Web service enables publishers, bloggers and sites of all kinds to automatically metatag the people, places, facts and events in their content to increase its search relevance and accessibility on the Web. It also lets content consumers, such as search engines, news portals, bookmarking services and RSS readers, submit content for automatic semantic metatagging that is performed in well under a second.

The Calais Web service returns content in an open, interoperable and entirely portable format, with a unique identifier that can be easily integrated into social networks, widgets and semantic applications like Powerset, Freebase, Twine, Hakia, Wikia, Blue Organizer and more.

Calais is a new Reuters initiative that supports the interoperability of content and the development of the Semantic Web - a layer of contextual intelligence that enables computers to 'read' content, detect connections and even make new ones. Calais leverages Reuters' substantial investment in semantic technologies and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to offer free metadata generation services, developer tools and an open standard for the generation of semantic content.

"The world is still suffering from information overload," said Gerry Campbell, President, Search and Content Technologies, Reuters. "Web 2.0 applications have set content free to a great extent, but the explosive distribution of information doesn't always help users find exactly what they need, when they need it,"

"Semantic tagging offers superior sorting and filtering of content for more targeted and timely delivery," he added. "Calais eliminates the cost of manually creating those tags while giving publishers an effective means of metadata transport. We look forward to working with developers on creative means of extraction that can help usher in the next great wave of innovation on the Web."

The Calais Web service:

-- Automates the generation of semantic metadata;

-- Incorporates any additional publisher-developed metadata; and

-- Transports that metadata across the content ecosystem via a persistent URI (Uniform Resource Identifier).

To get started:

1. Publishers and developers can go to www.OpenCalais.com to secure the Calais API key and download instructions for how to create and integrate a customized metatagging application for their content, commerce site or online community.

2. They can then programmatically submit their content to Calais to identify many types of semantic entities (people, places, organizations, etc.); facts (person 'x' works for company 'y'); and events ('a' occurred at place 'b' on date 'c').

3. The metadata results are stored centrally and returned to publishers in industry-standard RDF format with a unique identifier1 (URI) to that ensure easy content retrieval by any downstream consumer.

Today, Reuters also announced the first Calais Web service contest with a bounty for applications developed using the Calais API. The company will award $5,000 to the developer who builds a Calais-based plug-in for Automattic's WordPress(TM) Personal Publishing Platform. The applications must use the Calais Web service API and:

-- Offer automatic blog content scanning;

-- Support rich meta-tagging;

-- Create and maintain a semantic tag cloud for each blogger to post; and

-- Embed the related Calais URI.
