Introduction

The cXense Semantic plug-in for Escenic Content Engine provides an interface to the cXense entity tagging service.

The cXense entity tagging service searches submitted content for references to various subjects and returns tags associated with the subject references it finds. The returned tags are weighted for relevance.

The cXense Semantic plug-in enables the Content Engine to:

  • Submit content items to cXense for analysis and tagging

  • Map the returned cXense tags to corresponding Escenic tags if they exist, or else create new tags

  • Convert cXense tag relevance weightings to Escenic tag relevance values

The cXense Semantic plug-in also adds a small extension to the Content Studio user interface to provide user access to the service. This extension consists of a Suggest tags button, which appears next to the Add button in the Tags section of the attributes panel:

Clicking on the Suggest tags button submits the text of the current content item to cXense, and adds the returned tags to the content item.
