AlchemyAPI Products

They have an ontology engine, they are part of Orchestra. Look at the page and see how powerful the thing is. They are not in the RDF space, they just use the ontology engine raw.

So, why not use theri product? I am and will now that I found it. But we still need an open source version to really impact the web and dump the complexities.

Anyway, trying out the site I find it does exactly what I am talking about, stripping out formats and save text on which they perform key word analysis if you like. It works. I suspect they use the same very basic engine concept and push all the complexities out onto the applications. But there is no reason the core software should remain hidden, there are no patents an the thing is quite simple. The industries best choice is to define a set of operators, like Regular Expressions in Unix, then the engine is acting like a complete byte code, it should be able to run any application as a traversal of two ontology graphs.
