Open Calais Tags

Open Calais Tags is a PHP class for extracting entities from text using Open Calais. Calais performs semantic analysis of the text, using natural language processing to identify concepts like people, companies and technologies discussed in the text. These are especially useful for suggesting tags for your content such as website articles or blog posts. You could even automatically tag archived content that would take days to go through manually.

Joey:

Thanks for noticing this great tool that Dan has developed for Calais. For PHP'ers this greatly simplifies accessing the Calais web service.

You mentioned tagging archived content - I thought you might be interested in http://snipurl.com/244hz [www_powerhousemuseum_com]

The Powerhouse Museum in Syndney is using Calais to automatically tag their entire collection and provide end users of their online catalog with new search and navigation methods. Pretty Cool.

Regards,

Tom,

I appreciate you taking the time to leave a reply.

Having access to Calais with PHP gives me so many great ideas for uses with your service.

This is the beginning of a great time on the web - the ability to automatically semantically tag and store meta data without having to dig in and do all of the dirty work by hand. This is really just the beginning.

I took a look at the Powerhouse Museum, very interesting how they're using it.

I'd love to have a chance to talk with you more in depth about Open Calais and where you plan to take it.
