The Calais initiative seeks to help make all the world’s content more accessible, interoperable and valuable via the automated generation of rich semantic metadata, the incorporation of user-defined metadata, the transportation of those metadata resources throughout the content ecosystem, and the extension of its capabilities by user-contributed components.
Calais has three major components:
- The Calais Web Service is the core and provides for the automated generation of rich semantic metadata in RDF format.
- A series of sample applications demonstrate how the Web Service can be utilized and serve as a starting point for other development activities.
- Active support is provided to developers who want to incorporate Calais capabilities in their applications and web sites.
