Apture
Here is an example of Apture, a new semantic technology using modules built in Drupal. Apture gives content publishers the ability to find and incorporate relevant multimedia items directly into their pages. Readers can then access these items without leaving the page, providing them with a more meaningful web experience.
This module automatically links the code necessary to run with Drupal Nodes. Once a content publisher has an Apture account, they can contextually link media to key terms they select on a page. The assets appear in a Javascript box that hovers over the term. Media that is embedded includes photos from Flickr, maps from Google, definitions from wikipedia, and video from YouTube. But the admin interface allows you to customize your own choices.
The module does not currently provide an API for automatic registration but that is expected in future releases.
