yes, today Zemanta’s API officially stopped flying low on the radar and was released to wider public.

It does support RDF output, links to Linking Open Data entities and has properly defined namespace:

My bad! I am actually a user of Faviki, but it was not clear to me that not only tags but also, say, dbpedia uris are returned by Zemanta. I also looked at the Zemanta developer’s site, but I did not find this information. It is obviously my mistake…

Yes, Zemanta already provides Freebase GUIDs and Wikipeida URLs. So both Freebase and DBPedia can already be linked by using Zemanta API.

People are already using it that way – for example Faviki.com (semantic tagging site) is using Zemanta to suggest semantic tags (=dbpedia entities), so users don’t need to type them in themselves. They even use dbpedia’s cross language links to suggest semantic tags in native languages.

You can check out the API via http://developer.zemanta.com

(Freebase RDF URLs are coming next week, since this is just a syntactical change from GUIDs)

Andraz Tori, Zemanta
