Abstract

In the current Information Society, being informed is a basic necessity. As one of the main news bussiness actors, news agencies are required to provide fresh, relevant, high-quality information to their customers. Dealing with this requirement is not an easy task, but, as partners of the NEWS (News Engine Web Services) project, we believe that the usage of Semantic Web technologies could help news agencies in achieving that objective. In this paper we will describe the aims and main achievements of the NEWS project, that was just completed.
