Re: New Calais proxy could grow Linked Data Cloud

Chris

according to a section of my notes that I'll be using for a different  
story, the next iteration of Calais itself (to be released next week,  
in accordance with the team's regular release cycle) will see further  
enhancements to their existing place, personal, and corporate name  
disambiguation/normalisation.

I could put you in touch with Tom Tague at Calais to explore this, if  
that's useful?
