NYTimes TimesTags API
The New York Times has created an API against their “taxonomy and controlled vocabulary used by Times indexers since 1851″. Send their API a word and the NYTimes will send back a list of the most common relevant tags (and whether it’s a Person, Description, Organization or Location).
Why create our own structured vocabulary when highly trained people have been doing it since 1851 and we can borrow theirs?
