Today ThomsonReuters and CNET announced that they have formed an alliance to join the power of semantic analysis with digital media and publishing. According to the release, "Under the agreement, CNET will use the Thomson Reuters OpenCalais service for semantic analysis of its tech product reviews, award-winning news, and blog postings on consumer electronics and technology. This service will help streamline CNET’s content operations, drive audience engagement, and further extend CNET’s reach across the Web."
OpenCalais is a free service from Thomson designed to simplify automated content operations, improve the reader experience and extend distribution to new search engines, news aggregators and social media applications. Using natural language processing, machine learning and other methods, Calais analyzes documents and finds the entities within it. OpenCalais then leverages its connection to the 'Linked Data Cloud' to link those entities to related people, products, maps, companies and more, helping return the facts and events hidden within the text.
