Zemanta is a Slovenian company established in 2007 that provides semantic enrichment and automatic content generation for web publishers. It uses machine learning techniques and linked open data to analyze text and generate tags, images, in-text links and related links. The company's founders demonstrated their technology at the LOD2 meeting in Leuven, Belgium, discussing how they could improve their recommender engine by integrating additional linked open data sources and using crowdsourcing techniques. Zemanta has offices in Ljubljana and New York and has received funding from investors including Eden Ventures, TAG, and Union Square Ventures.
