Ricardo Kawase, Eelco Herder, Patrick Siehndel · 2014
Abstract. The Internet plays a major role as a source of news. Many publishers offer online versions of their newspapers to paying customers. Online newspapers bear more similarity with traditional print papers than with regular news sites. In a close collaboration with Mediengruppe Madsack- publisher of newspapers in several German federal states, we aim at providing a semantically enriched online newspaper. News articles are annotated with relevant entities- places, persons and organizations. These annotations form the basis for an entity-based ‘Theme Radar’, a dashboard for monitoring articles related to the users ’ explicitly indi-cated and inferred interests. 1
