Zemanta is more precise, OpenCalais is more verbose; results vary
depending on the subject matter and each documents content - in all
honesty there is no way to say one is better than the other, but I can
say that both combined is as good as you can get for now.

Noted that Kingsley mentioned the Sponger Middleware for virtuoso, this
would allow you to do the same afaik, but faster and with the option of
adding in more sponger cartridges for virtually any third party api's +
with the extensive list of cartridges already included it's definitely
an option worth looking in to - and ultimately the fastest / most reliable.

fyi: i ran your source text through the combination system and here's
what it brings back:
