Calais

febbraro - April 14, 2008 - 17:50

These modules are an integration of the ThomsonReuter's Calais RDF web service into the Drupal platform. This will not only provide the capabilities to integrate Calais Entity (and soon Event) metadata with Drupal Nodes, but it also provide a flexible API for modules to use when integrating with the Calais service.

The basic functionality lets you configure which content types you want to poll Calais for metadata about the content. The entities returned can then be automatically assigned to vocabularies related to the content types, or it can suggest terms based on the Calais metadata and allow you to select the terms you want to associate (think of del.icio.us recommending tags) There are many level of configuration and this is just the beginning.

Note: The ARC2 library is required for this module to function. The D5 version needs to install the ARC2 library in opencalais/arc_rdf/arc2 (as documented in the README.txt) and the D6 version still needs ARC2, however it should be installed as part of the RDF module which is a dependency.

TODO:

  • Implement Calais error handling
  • Integration of Event metadata
  • Full test suite
  • Much more...

This project is sponsored by Phase2 Technology and ThomsonReuters Calais
