Attempt to use Calais as a metadata importing plug-in to provide additional metadata for crawled resources.

Calais is a big initiative with a lot of components. What you care about is the Calais Web Service. The web service is an API that accepts unstructured text (like news articles, blog postings, etc.), processes them using natural language processing and machine learning algorithms, and returns RDF-formatted entities, facts and events. It takes about 0.5 to 1.0 second depending on how big a document you send and the size of your pipe.
