WEBVTT 00:00:08.011 --> 00:00:15.174 Hello, my name is Martin Hiller and I am Director General of REEEP, the Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency Partnership. 00:00:15.174 --> 00:00:21.847 REEEP is a market catalyst for clean energy in developing countries and emerging economies. 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. 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: 00:00:40.241 --> 00:00:43.911 which is called the reegle tagging API. 00:00:44.403 --> 00:00:47.998 This video clip explains what is behind this concept 00:00:47.998 --> 00:00:53.504 and my colleague Florian Bauer, our IT Director, will take you through it. 00:00:54.226 --> 00:00:55.673 Thanks, Martin! 00:00:55.673 --> 00:01:01.011 Most of us in the climate and development sectors experience at first hand the information dilemma: 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. 00:01:08.538 --> 00:01:13.315 But what is the content of all that content? - Often, we have simply no idea. 00:01:13.315 --> 00:01:17.493 What we are facing is not knowledge. It is not even information. 00:01:17.723 --> 00:01:21.865 What we are facing today is data. Big, unstructured data. 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. 00:01:28.122 --> 00:01:31.959 And this is where our reegle tagging API comes into play. 00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:37.673 The reegle tagging API is a service that structures and enriches your documents, 00:01:37.673 --> 00:01:42.886 thereby turning information into knowledge – knowledge that is essential for smarter decisions. 00:01:43.255 --> 00:01:49.059 Apart from that, it helps others find and use your documents and your information. 00:01:51.043 --> 00:01:52.696 Here's how it works: 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. 00:02:00.191 --> 00:02:06.368 The most relevant terms are extracted and can be used to tag and structure the information. 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 00:02:14.293 --> 00:02:18.881 for example allowing to filter documents by city or country. 00:02:19.573 --> 00:02:25.512 For the most relevant extractions the reegle tagging API provides contextual information 00:02:25.512 --> 00:02:32.905 such as definitions, explanations and synonyms, based on our unique clean energy and climate thesaurus. 00:02:33.920 --> 00:02:38.817 It can also enrich your documents with links to related articles from our content pool. 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. 00:02:46.005 --> 00:02:50.704 A growing number of organisations are already benefiting from the reegle tagging API. 00:02:50.704 --> 00:02:52.122 For instance: 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. 00:03:01.982 --> 00:03:06.303 Eldis, a major resource for policy and research documents in the development sector, 00:03:06.303 --> 00:03:11.558 uses the API to provide readers with synonyms and definitions at a glance. 00:03:13.541 --> 00:03:17.481 The open energy information portal "OpenEI" which is managed by NREL has built a widget 00:03:17.481 --> 00:03:24.029 based on the reegle API that presents visitors with appropriate glossary terms and related articles. 00:03:25.013 --> 00:03:30.536 To find out what the reegle tagging API can do for you and how we can help you use our services, 00:03:30.536 --> 00:03:36.917 visit http://api.reegle.info or send an email to api@reegle.info.
