Hi I’m , delivery manager for Future Media News. I manage the delivery of the News Product and I also lead on ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ News Labs.

I recently wrote about .

The News Juicer is a platform that digests what we publish on , β€˜Juices’ key pieces of information from this content (β€˜People’, β€˜Places’ and β€˜Organisations’) and finally adds these as β€˜Tags’ against each News article.

We can then arrange content using these tags.The News Juicer has β€˜Juiced’ more than 83,000 ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ NewsΒ and articles published between 2001 and now and this provides ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ News with a great dataset to experiment and test product concepts.

I am pleased to announce that The ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ News Juicer will be making an appearance at in London on 27 and 28 April when participating developers can get access to our APIs.

If you are taking part in the event you will be able to take advantage of more than 83,000 linked data-tagged ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ News and Sport articles using identifiers for People, Place, Organisation and β€˜Theme’.

We are really pleased to be taking part in this event, and this represents a key step in exposing News Labs’ activities to the wider industry. We plan to do more of these types of innovation events and to stay abreast of our developments, you can follow on Twitter.
