Editors and reporters in a newsroom often get bogged down with the overwhelming task of having to go through piles of documents, searching for specific facts and information. The Document Cloud is a technological innovation that can assist with analysis, annotation, publication, and other actions related to journalism and it makes work easier for those working in this profession.
Private notes pertaining to a particular record can be made and stored. The user has the freedom to add these to any section of the document on a tab designated for this purpose. This is more private and organized than the old-school method of attaching sticky "Post-It" note papers to the actual hard copy of the document.
It also provides users with the opportunity to collaboratively share annotations with others and even publish them if desired. This permits greater ability for conferencing on issues and makes it possible to organize these annotations into a comprehensive presentation mode so these thoughts can be publicly shared.
Another capability it has is OpenCalais entity extraction. This is very useful if someone is searching for a particular term, or a name of a person, place, or company, a custom search can be performed to extract the data of interest to them. The API which stands for "application programming interface" permits this functionality.
One other task this application is capable of is generating a timeline based on the dates contained in a specific document. Dates are scanned and sorted into a handy timeline of events. This facilitates presenting information in an orderly and logical manner.
While it can effectively analyze one single record, it is also of great assistance when dealing with a high volume compilation of records which need to be analyzed. Overall it can make any reporting project run more smoothly by enabling entity extraction, timeline creation, and makes it simple to embed a collection and collaborate with others.
