DrupalConDC Using Intelligent Web Services for Semantic Drupal Sites

Works best with well-written long-form prose (not well for tweets).

Puts the document into topic.

17 now, will probably go up to 300 and stop there.

semantic web compliant format: RDF

Then goes a step farther. For a subset, takes you into the linked data world. Another emerging standard, a Tim Berners-Lee initiative

for instance dbpedia
CIA World Factbook
now OpenCalais

Calais is a web service. Hard to demo.

When machines are talking to machines, usually takes us half-a-second to process a normal news article.

People have sent novels, it takes longer.

It would take an editor minutes at least to highlight such things.

As a publisher, right now, you could use the categorization ("Business Finance") to put it in the right place.

Calais is not a dictionary driven system.

80% of names for a South African affiliate are South African tribal names, and it mostly gets them right (knows they are names). There's no dictionary for this.

It had Barack Obama as president of Hilton hotels!!!

Has a web page about AIG - from XML, with facts about the company.

We find the right link to AIG in dbpedia

How do you create the local technologies companies sidebar for the story about local technology companies? Have an editor do it manually. Calais can do this.

How do you make money?

We don't. About enough to have our Christmas

Throing it out in the world and having 30,000

Content interoperability. Thompson Reuters spends billions bringing in content and

We can embrace it. We can't own all the content in the world, but our stuff can work with all the content in the world.

The fact that it's not altruistic is a good thing

I'm a web director at a Danish newspaper. Your stuff is great-- but my newspaper is in Danish.

We have to roll out languages manually right now. Are doing French, with Spanish, German coming.

We will never do Danish the way we have to do it today, looking at an automated situation

No plans to do

How to build a semantic web site using OpenCalais.

I founded Phase2 ("open source. open minds.")
got involved with open source early on

likes doing stupid things with bicycles and Drupal

playing around in semantic web stuff for [six months now]

I can read RDF just by looking at it.

lot of names for it:
ggg (Giant Global Graph), contextual web, web 3.0, linked data

What do we need to build a semantic site?

Drupal has great modules -- CCK, Views, ...

RDF, RDF CCK, FOAF, relations, sparql, sioc, the calais collection

calais module
auto-tagging of yoru nodes

What calais returns gets turned into a Calais term, which then integrates with Drupal core taxonomy, making it a taxonomy term.

Geo Data
Company Data
Product Data

all attached to nodes as taxonomy terms.

Configure Calais for what nodes will have the process run, if terms are added or just suggested, etc.

All this happens on node save.

Becomes terms in a free tagging taxonomy.

0.0. to 1.00 relevancy scale

Fully integrated all of the terms calais knows about with views.

autodiscovery links-- like the RSS link that makes the icon appear.

We added: "this page is also available as RDF"

http://dbpedia.org/resource/Drupal

Washington, D.C., opencalais

owl:sameAs link goes to dbpedia page for Washington D.C., so you know

contextual geo data

The Calais geo module, built on Calais terms.

On a map, but wait, there's more.-- link to DBPedia

Or can pick the most relevant company term, and have it's DPPedia information show there.

How does this all go together?

Sparql query to get the data from DBPedia endpoint
render it into HTML

Marmoset: microformats for search agents
allows search agents to h

We've packaged all these modules together into something we call Open Publish.

Drupal, an installation profile with a bunch of modules, all available on Drupal.org
plus theme and glue code
Released it last night, it's for everyone, can download it

Visit the "Linked Data Lounge" -- go right out of Ledorf room, then right again, then right again -- there's little rooms behind this room.

Topic hub configuration:
Calais Document Category Health and Industry Term Food
OR
Industry Term Exercise

All these tools will work with content you created, or pulled in by feeds.

http://openpublish.opensourceopenminds.com/

I can look at hot topics, what is trending on the site.

Put Chicago term on the map, and it grabs the wikipedia page, population, and other info automatically.

Trying to be on the cutting edge, front of what semantic web is.

Integration with taxonomy? Yes.
Vocabularies created automatically? Yes.
Calais entity types are created as vocabularies in Drupal (that's a lot of vocabs)
Relevancy score in relation to content determines the boldness/size of terms on the suggestion page.
