Auto Tagging

This project allows for flexible auto tagging of your content types via a pluggable interface that makes use of 3rd party services to provide the tag context.

As a point of disambiguation, this module differentiates itself from the AutoTag module in that it doesn't rely on pre-defined vocabularies. Instead, this module sends node content through any number of third party services to determine what the content is about.

*** This module is currently in beta. While you can use it in a production environment, your mileage may vary. Feedback and issues can be sent to the issue queue, which is actively monitored.

Service Integration

• OpenCalais
• Yahoo! Terms Extraction - NOTE: Yahoo deprecated this service in December, 2010. Currently seeking a developer to help port this module to the YQL API instead
• tagthe.net

TagThe.net integration

• Install the Autotagging API module
• Install the Autotagging TagThe.net module
• Configure at least one tag-style Vocabulary
• Visit the Autotagging settings page, select the vocabulary you created above (in, for example the "Topic" type)

Yahoo Terms integration

** NOTE: See above, as yahoo terms integration is deprecated. **

Unlike TagThe.net, Yahoo Terms doesn't return different categories of information. It does, however, return phrases for topics instead of single words.

• You will need to get a Yahoo! Application ID from here. Note that yahoo restricts the number of queries to 5000 per IP address per day. Nothing we can do here.
• Install the Yahoo Terms module
• Under Autotagging settings, fill in your Application ID gotten in step 1.
• Optionally specify the vocabulary to add yahoo terms to.

OpenCalais

• You will need to get a API Key for OpenCalais support.
• Once you have your key, enable the module and paste it in on the settings page and you should be good to go.

Currently planned:

• Fail-case and retry support if remote service can't be contacted.
• Better documentation of hook system.
• D7 module
• CRON-time processing of terms
• Suggest terms instead of auto-accepting them
