Hello, there's a new Uberblic Search API [1] which aims to make the life easier for developers who want to build tagging & search interfaces on top of the uberblic data repository. Or who want a Search API with just a little semantics for finding named entites in data sources like Wikipedia, Geonames, Foursquare, Musicbrainz, ... The API supports simple lookup queries, but also a bit more "semantic" queries. It's like my lookup.dbpedia.org service on steroids... Looking for the URI of the company Starbucks as defined in Wikipedia? "source:[enwikipedia] type:[uo:Company] Starbucks" Or, you know, that movie with Bill Murray and Scarlett ... what's her last name? "type:[uo:Film] starring:[Bill Murray] starring:[Scarlett]" The API supports type-ahead / autocomplete interfaces as well. So if you want an autocomplete-enabled search box for Bill Murray movies, just prefix your query with "type:[uo:Film] starring:[Bill Murray]" Try it out by copying that query into the search box at http://platform.uberblic.org and start typing movie names... Read more about the new API and let me know what you think: http://uberblic.org/2010/07/uberblic-search-api-just-enough-semantics/ Best, Georgi [1] http://uberblic.org/developers/apis/search/ -- Georgi Kobilarov Uberblic Labs Berlin http://kobilarov.com
