Hello, my name is Martin Hiller and I am Director General of REEEP, the Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency Partnership.

2
00:00:15,174 --> 00:00:21,847
REEEP is a market catalyst for clean energy in developing countries and emerging economies.

3
00:00:22,723 --> 00:00:31,898
We think that easy access to information is an essential driver for the development of clean energy markets.

4
00:00:32,713 --> 00:00:40,241
Lately a lot of people in the energy and development field have asked me about the new application we have built:

5
00:00:40,241 --> 00:00:43,911
which is called the reegle tagging API.

6
00:00:44,403 --> 00:00:47,998
This video clip explains what is behind this concept

7
00:00:47,998 --> 00:00:53,504
and my colleague Florian Bauer, our IT Director, will take you through it.



8
00:00:54,226 --> 00:00:55,673
Thanks, Martin!

9
00:00:55,673 --> 00:01:01,011
Most of us in the climate and development sectors experience at first hand the information dilemma:

10
00:01:01,011 --> 00:01:08,153
the explosion of content in our data warehouses, up in the cloud, on servers and in inboxes.

11
00:01:08,538 --> 00:01:13,315
But what is the content of all that content? - Often, we have simply no idea.

12
00:01:13,315 --> 00:01:17,493
What we are facing is not knowledge. It is not even information.

13
00:01:17,723 --> 00:01:21,865
What we are facing today is data. Big, unstructured data.

14
00:01:21,865 --> 00:01:28,122
All of us have vast libraries at our command. But many of these libraries lack a proper catalogue.

15
00:01:28,122 --> 00:01:31,959
And this is where our reegle tagging API comes into play.

16
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:37,673
The reegle tagging API is a service that structures and enriches your documents,

17
00:01:37,673 --> 00:01:42,886
thereby turning information into knowledge – knowledge that is essential for smarter decisions.

18
00:01:43,255 --> 00:01:49,059
Apart from that, it helps others find and use your documents and your information.

19
00:01:51,043 --> 00:01:52,696
Here's how it works:

20
00:01:52,896 --> 00:01:59,361
A file, article or document is sent to the reegle tagging API, where its content is analyzed.

21
00:02:00,191 --> 00:02:06,368
The most relevant terms are extracted and can be used to tag and structure the information.

22
00:02:07,337 --> 00:02:14,293

In addition to words and phrases, the reegle tagging API is also able to extract geographic information

23
00:02:14,293 --> 00:02:18,881
for example allowing to filter documents by city or country.

24
00:02:19,573 --> 00:02:25,512
For the most relevant extractions the reegle tagging API provides contextual information

25
00:02:25,512 --> 00:02:32,905
such as definitions, explanations and synonyms, based on our unique clean energy and climate thesaurus.

26
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:38,817
It can also enrich your documents with links to related articles from our content pool.

27
00:02:39,555 --> 00:02:45,282
In turn, you can also have your documents added to the pool, making them available for others.

28
00:02:46,005 --> 00:02:50,704
A growing number of organisations are already benefiting from the reegle tagging API.

29
00:02:50,704 --> 00:02:52,122
For instance:

30
00:02:52,122 --> 00:03:00,798
weAdapt, a knowledge sharing and collaboration platform which uses the reegle API for consistent tagging, ensuring consistency of message.

31
00:03:01,982 --> 00:03:06,303
Eldis, a major resource for policy and research documents in the development sector,

32
00:03:06,303 --> 00:03:11,558
uses the API to provide readers with synonyms and definitions at a glance.

33
00:03:13,541 --> 00:03:17,481
The open energy information portal "OpenEI" which is managed by NREL has built a widget

34
00:03:17,481 --> 00:03:24,029
based on the reegle API that presents visitors with appropriate glossary terms and related articles.

35
00:03:25,013 --> 00:03:30,536
