Description	ClearForest Semantic Web Services-1 (SWS-1) leverages the power of over a decade of research and product development in natural language processing, text extraction and event detection, making these capabilities available now as a standard web service. Text is submitted to the web service where semantic analysis is applied to it, identifying all people, organizations, and geographies located within the text. The service returns the results as XML or as a formatted web page. The API enables Web site developers, software programmers, enterprise information managers and others to identify concepts and relationships contained in text and the results can be incorporated directly in user applications or as a component of web sites.
