Hello, my name is Martin Hiller and I am Director General of REEEP, the Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency Partnership.
-
REEEP is a market catalyst for clean energy in developing countries and emerging economies.
-
We think that easy access to information is an essential driver for the development of clean energy markets.
-
Lately a lot of people in the energy and development field have asked me about the new application we have built:
-
which is called the reegle tagging API.
-
This video clip explains what is behind this concept
-
and my colleague Florian Bauer, our IT Director, will take you through it.
-
Thanks, Martin!
-
Most of us in the climate and development sectors experience at first hand the information dilemma:
-
the explosion of content in our data warehouses, up in the cloud, on servers and in inboxes.
-
But what is the content of all that content? - Often, we have simply no idea.
-
What we are facing is not knowledge. It is not even information.
-
What we are facing today is data. Big, unstructured data.
-
All of us have vast libraries at our command. But many of these libraries lack a proper catalogue.
-
And this is where our reegle tagging API comes into play.
-
The reegle tagging API is a service that structures and enriches your documents,
-
thereby turning information into knowledge – knowledge that is essential for smarter decisions.
-
Apart from that, it helps others find and use your documents and your information.
-
Here's how it works:
-
A file, article or document is sent to the reegle tagging API, where its content is analyzed.
-
The most relevant terms are extracted and can be used to tag and structure the information.
-
In addition to words and phrases, the reegle tagging API is also able to extract geographic information
-
for example allowing to filter documents by city or country.
-
For the most relevant extractions the reegle tagging API provides contextual information
-
such as definitions, explanations and synonyms, based on our unique clean energy and climate thesaurus.
-
It can also enrich your documents with links to related articles from our content pool.
-
In turn, you can also have your documents added to the pool, making them available for others.
-
A growing number of organisations are already benefiting from the reegle tagging API.
-
For instance:
-
weAdapt, a knowledge sharing and collaboration platform which uses the reegle API for consistent tagging, ensuring consistency of message.
-
Eldis, a major resource for policy and research documents in the development sector,
-
uses the API to provide readers with synonyms and definitions at a glance.
-
The open energy information portal "OpenEI" which is managed by NREL has built a widget
-
based on the reegle API that presents visitors with appropriate glossary terms and related articles.
