Hey there, I have this site I'm making using this technology, I'm having a lot of fun building it... www.allbarackobamanews.com.

This site is kind of a test to play around, but I still want to make it as good as possible, so that's why I want to know the following :

How can I return terms to Calais, so that next time there is something that talks about that "subject" Calais would auto tag it?

In this case, the example is the "Stimulus Package" that Barack Obama is passing these days. I am very surprised that this "term" is not returned at all by Calais, and I would like to know how I could add it to nodes in the hopes of returning that info to Calais?

In which Calais entity would that kind of topic go?

Thaks for your time and such a great toy to play with,

Patchak

Hey Patchak. Glad you're having so much fun.

The current short answer is the best way to get new identification into Calais is to either start a forum post @ http://www.opencalais.com or send and email to team@opencalais.com. They welcome feedback so they can make their product as good as possible.

To that end, the longer term answer is we will be working with them to integrate a feedback mechanism directly into these modules so you can tell them about things that should have been identified, or have been identified incorrectly, etc.

What is the best way to get it added right now? You can either manually add the tag to new entries where relevant, or you can implement hook_calais_preprocess or hook_calais_postprocess and do some magic there. I might recommend adding it to the keyword data structure in the preprocess hook. It will be some work however to get it continually identified correctly (for example, you must always add it with the same unique guid)

Let me know if I can answer any more questions.

Hi Patchak,

Did you ever solve this? I'm having the same issue and really surprised this is not easily accomplished. After all, I thought the whole point was to share data seamlessley with the calias system. Cheers, Kevin
