Accelerating News Integration in Automatic Knowledge Extraction Ecosystems: an API-first Outlook
Leveraging Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) has been widely
acknowledged as a valuable approach to software and system design that have
promoted the acceleration of products and services development by allowing the
decoupling of interface design from service implementation details. Many
organizations in the news and journalism industry have adopted and promoted
this API oriented approach. In the first part of this paper, we provide a
survey of the most significant recent work around traditional news and
journalistic open APIs and how these have been influenced by and impacted the
news product landscape. In the second part of the paper, we identify two
disruptive technology trends that we believe will impact the role and value of
news/journalism products in the future: API-first development methodologies,
and the increased role of news-supported automatic knowledge extraction and
analytic services. We anticipate that these two driving forces will create a
new wave of adoption, open collaboration, standardization and overall progress
in news content adoption in knowledge platforms. We provide a brief overview of
our experience in this area at Dow Jones
