So after a bit of back and forth with the email servers I got my API-KEY for OpenCalais and toyed around with it a bit
Light code
I took this url http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2009/03/pretty_much_everybody_hates_bu.html which is an article on New York Magazine titled “Pretty Much Everybody Hates Budget Plan by Paterson, Silver, and Smith”.
Set my threshold to 0.5 in regards to relevance and spit this URL at Calais to see what I would get back:
The Results
That took about 5 minutes; so the next step is to take the entities and create resulting objects for them. The list of all the entities are available here. The higher the relevance the better so we can see that based on the entities the Article has something to do with David Paterson, Sheldon Silver and Sheldon Smith; that it was Published by New York Magazine but there is an error because the “Company” Intel doesn’t actually exist in the article. It’s actually talking about “Daily Intel”.
