Description
I'm running Open Calais to automatically generate meta data on feeds I'm importing.
I'd like to use the Calais Geo module to center the geo map block on one of the terms....automatically.
However it appears that right now the admin has to go into node edit and select a taxonomy term to be mapped in order for calais geo to do anything.
Is there a way to automatically have calais map one of the terms? I don't want to have to go in to map them all by hand.

#1
I agree that the manual aspect of it is less than ideal, but the hard part is determining *which* term(s) to base the autocentering on.
I guess all terms come with a relevance score and we can probably take the highest relevant term from the vocabularies marked as Geo vocabs and plot/center on it. Would that be a useful first pass, then you could go in and manually modify it as needed?
#2
I think the highest relevant term would work for the first pass, febbraro.
I'd like to see this implemented and could help test.
#3
Yes definitely. Adding even that would be a step up.
Basically I'm playing around with open calais, feed api and a bunch of rss feeds. Open Calais is plucking out keywords on the fly for me and then I'm running those through various web services to generate some truly crazy meta data for these feed items. Being able to add a geo element would be terrific.
