Taalee Semantic Asset Cataloging is a semantic cataloging and asset management service; it is used by content creators for precise cataloging of their original content. Semantic Asset Cataloging also assists in correctly and automatically cataloging partners' content into Taalee's asset metabase. Once the content has been cataloged, it is searchable from any site using Semantic Search, increasing exposure for the content creators.

"The benefits that Taalee offers its partners," Sheth boasted, "are many and varied; improved customer satisfaction, delighted users and quick customization, deployment and time to market. We're developing infrastructure that will support production, distribution and advertising for digital media (audio and video enhanced with some text and photos for now) for the third generation of the web. And the Semantic Engine is obviously much less expensive than a building full of editors [yikes! - ed.]. It provides opportunities for multiple user impressions through the display of searches, results, related links, and Taalee's Rich Media Reference pages, all on the host site. Taalee is the future of services based on semantic Web searching -- it's just that simple."

Doesn't sound that simple to us - not at all. But if it works as well as Sheth says it does, it really will help you find more meaningful data more easiy.

Why is this particularly useful to streamers? Sheth explained:

"The value for streaming content is very high. The cost of streaming content is very high. So the understanding of the content that Taalee has is all the more valuable. You cannot eyeball an audio-video stream. You can eyeball text. While Taalee can also improve simple text, it is all the more relevant in audio-video. Additionally, Talee has figured out a whole number of different ways - dealing with all types of files and making sure that you have sufficient information about all types of files in content and rights management issues for our partners. So there are a whole bunch of specialized services that Taalee has completed for audio-video."
