Dive into Topics
With our integration of the International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC) Media Topics, you get a comprehensive taxonomy of over 1,200 terms designed for media content categorisation.
And the best part? We can create feeds based on these topics for even more targeted analysis.
Uncover Key Players
To fully grasp the impact of news articles, it’s essential to identify the entities involved. Our technology scans entire articles, pinpointing all relevant persons, locations, and organisations. Advanced techniques ensure you get a clear picture of the key players in the news landscape.
Product Details
Topics
The International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC) was established in 1965, and its primary focus is to develop and promote industry standards for the exchange of news data.
We have chosen the IPTC Media Topics as our default taxonomy. It is a constantly updated taxonomy of over 1,200 terms developed specifically for the categorisation of media content, and it is updated at least once a year.
Topic tags include:
- Label – the name of the IPTC Media Topic
- Media Topic ID – the unique IPTC Media Code
- Score – the overall confidence that the article revolves around the topic.
Entities
We analyse the entire article to identify all persons, locations, and organisations. The process includes advanced disambiguation to avoid delivering duplicate entities.
Entity tags include:
- Entity type – person, location, or organisation
- Entity – name of person, location, or organisation
- Wikidata ID – a link to additional information about the entity (when possible).
