Applied Semantics, a leading software tools and applications provider for unstructured information management, has developed Applied Semantics News Series, an integrated content processing solution specifically for publishers.
Applied Semantics News Series provides content categorization, summarization, event identification, and concept tagging software that streamlines newswire, editorial, archiving, and syndication processes.
The publishing-focused solution comes bundled with industry standard taxonomies such as International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC) Subject Codes and SIC Codes and works with XML standards such as NITF, NewsML, ANPA, and PRISM.
Applied Semantics News Series provides benefits to the following process areas:
* Editorial: Automates the process of applying many kinds of metadata to news content, resulting in significant timesavings for editors, writers, librarians, and indexers who are currently manually producing this information.
* Newswire: Categorizes, summarizes, and routes incoming newswire stories to ensure the most relevant articles reach interested editors and reporters in real time. Event Identification can also flag articles that contain newsworthy information.
* Archiving: Enhances the content published into an archive and the subsequent search experience by automatically categorizing articles into granular categories, and creating article abstracts, affording reporters and editors more time to use rather than search for archived information.
* Syndication: Automates process of adding valuable metadata to content delivered to syndication and aggregation partners.
Applied Semantics News Series is powered by CIRCA Technology, a proprietary semantic engine that employs the use of an ontology, or database of millions of concepts and relationships between concepts, to read and assign meaning to any piece of unstructured content by building a profile of the key meanings residing on a page.
The ontology covers millions of broad and deep concepts and terms and is highly compatible with the wide range of news content handled by publishers, says the company.
