Thomson Reuters is today launching the latest version of its Calais web service and open API, Calais 4.0 . Calais is a toolkit of products that enables publishers to incorporate semantic functionality within their properties - enabling them to categorize content as people, places, companies, facts, events, and more. Calais 4.0 is perhaps the most significant version since the launch of Calais one year ago, because it enables publishers to connect to the Linked Data web standard that Sir Tim-Berners Lee and others in the Semantic Web community have been promoting over the past few years. Up till now, we have yet to see much commercial activity in Linked Data - developments have been largely confined to the academic and scientific communities.

Screencasts of Twine's Facelift; Does It Live Up to the Hyp
We've chronicled semantic web service Twine's birth , checkered youth , and recent woes in terms of traffic waning and criticism waxing. We've been given screencasts of the new version of this knowledge management application - screencasts of both the consumer- and developer-facing facets of the site. Take a look, and let us know if the new Twine lives up to expectations. This new version, we are told, will be live by the end of the year. The consumer product promises to supplant keyword search by treating the web like a huge database, with filtering capabilities that allow users to pare down search results to only the most relevant, applicable, and useful links. Developers and other techies can check out this screencast exploring Twine's collaboratively authored ontologies:Editor's note: Looking back over 2008, there were some posts on ReadWriteWeb that did not get the attention we felt they deserved - whether because of timing, competing news stories, etc. So in this end-of-year series, called Redux , we're resurrecting some of those hidden gems. This is one of them, we hope you enjoy (re)reading it!

Did Google Just Expose Semantic Data in Search Results? - ReadWr
In what appears to us to be a new addition to many Google search results pages, queries about birth dates, family connections and other information are now being responded to with explicitly semantic structured information. Who is Bill Clinton's wife? What's the capital city of Oregon? What is Britney Spears' mother's name? The answers to these and other factual questions are now displayed above natural search results in Google and the information is structured in the traditional subject-predicate-object format, or "triples," of semantic web parlance.
