Innovation Manager

Hi I’m , delivery manager for Future Media News. I manage the delivery of the News Product and I also lead on Ö÷²¥´óÐã News Labs.

I recently wrote about .

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

We can then arrange content using these tags.The News Juicer has ‘Juiced’ more than 83,000 Ö÷²¥´óÐã News and articles published between 2001 and now and this provides Ö÷²¥´óÐã News with a great dataset to experiment and test product concepts.

I am pleased to announce that The Ö÷²¥´óÐã 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 Ö÷²¥´óÐã News and Sport articles using identifiers for People, Place, Organisation and ‘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.

Special thanks to Murray Rowan at Yahoo as well as Ö÷²¥´óÐã News & Knowledge, Online Technology Group, Ö÷²¥´óÐã Linked Data Platform and Ö÷²¥´óÐã Connected Studio for their continuing support and to for their great toolset.
