Comments on: Semantic Web In Action – Apture http://davidkuhta.com/2010/01/semantic-technologies-in-action-apture/ Wed, 04 Jan 2012 23:09:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: David Kuhta http://davidkuhta.com/2010/01/semantic-technologies-in-action-apture/comment-page-1/#comment-51 David Kuhta Wed, 10 Mar 2010 05:38:59 +0000 http://davidkuhta.com/?p=60#comment-51 You bring up a good point with regards to a Zemanta comparison, but I've found Apture to be different on the basis of "who" does the determination of related content. With Apture, the responsibility to determine what content should have related links is placed on the user. Hence for a blog post on the stock market, the user determines that they should "Apturize" text relating to "Wall Street" with say a google map to Wall Street in New York City and embed a photo of the iconic "Bear & Bull statue." On the other hand, Zemanta uses natural language processing and semantic search to determine what it considers to be the focus and important text in the article and "it" recommends linking that same "Wall Street" text to its equivalent Wikipedia entry. With regards to users, I've actually heard of Apture and Zemanta being used in conjunction with one another, Apture for content and Zemanta for concept, so to speak. That just may be an idea I have to try out here. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I see... I wonder if they will convert as many users as zemanta, zemanta has surely a big advance start of ~ 2 years? so its the same as http://www.zemanta.com but a bit more complex? I see…

I was pretty excited about the power of Apture to add that "extra" content that I think may be helpful or interesting for readers, but without <em>needing</em> to put it directly in the post. I saw the "Alaskan Properties" Apture embed on your site with the thumbnail pictures underneath, that looked pretty sweet! I'll have to try something like that out in the future. Thanks again, and look forward to seeing some more "Apturized" content on your site. Dave, Thanks for the complement!
