CNET is using OpenCalais for semantic analysis of its tech product reviews, award-winning news, and blog postings on consumer electronics and technology, where it will streamline CNET’s content operations, drive audience engagement, and further extend CNET’s reach across the Web.

In addition, CNET is joining us in publish core data assets for public, programmatic use on the Linked Data cloud. CNET will allow its original content -- such as tech product reviews on laptops, TVs, smart phones, and digital cameras; news articles and blog posts from its CNET News editorial staff; and parts of its core technology product catalog - to be available for public use.
