Semantic Web Mashup: Wikipedia-Open_Calais-Goggle-Amazon
Do you want to see the power of Semantic Web mashup services ?
Then check this out:
http://kapustar.punkt.at/labs/knowledgelounge.org/?q=Semantic%20Web
This is an experimental mashup service from the Semantic Web Company (Credit goes to Rene Kapusta)
What does it do ?
This prototype shows how to use semantic based term extraction and the Amazon API to search for relevant books for a specific topic.
How it works
- The search input is send to wikipedia.org
- The respective wikipedia page is sent to the Open Calais service to extract the terms
- The extracted terms are sent to google, and get enriched by related terms using the google labs service "google suggest".
- and last but not least the terms are sent to the Amazon API and the relevant books from Amazon are displayed
Pretty cool !

Hello Peter!
Thanks for the credits and description of the app!
There is a newer prototype available at: http://researchr.evo42.net/better/ -- now with better search results. Using the Wikipedia Thesaurus from http://wikipedia-lab.org
By the end of the month there will be a "final release" with some other nice features like embedded RDFa...
