I encourage anyone to use Extractiv (http://www.extractiv.com) for this challenge. We're rolling out an On-Demand (local document analysis similar to Calais) Semantic Conversion service that could be helpful.

Slow down the rollout a little: your 'take a tour' page inline link to Semantic On Demand 404s, as does the inline link from your pricing page:

http://www.extractiv.com/tour-semantic-on-deman.html - missing letter in '...deman.html'

http://www.extractiv.com/tour-semantic-on-demand - missing '.html'

Also, the pricing page says users need to buy a plus or premium subscription for access to Semantic On-Demand, but confusingly says the basic plan includes 'On-Demand access to 1,000 documents / day' - I presume you meant to emphasize the unlimited usage available with the premium plans.

also, the example from here http://www.extractiv.com/tour-semantic-on-demand.html does not work.

I second, this seems interesting (and I would be really interested in seeing what you produce as "relations")

PS - I forgot to say that it looks extremely interesting from what I've read so far.

"Extractiv lets you transform unstructured web content into highly-structured semantic data."

Suggestion: Can you put sample output on your homepage, so we can see what sort of semantic analysis you perform?

p.s. this tool doesn't have anything to do with the task.
