    There is nothing in the pdf document.

    The only thing about generic relations is:

    "GenericRelations: This function is no longer supported."

    Sneak preview :)

    The new Open Calais provides the following metadata enhancements:

    • er/Company – A disambiguation tag that maps the extracted company to the corresponding company in the Thomson Reuters Organization Authority, a universe of over 3 million organizations (mainly the largest international business organizations worldwide). Open Calais Company metadata is substantially enhanced in quality from the previous opencalais.com version. The main enhancements are in the precision of Disambiguation, and Relevance, with more accurate recognition of high relevance mentions. The openpermid attribute value is a direct link to the relevant company page on the Open PermID website (https://permid.org), and gives you direct access to high quality, curated Thomson Reuters company data. Company disambiguation is now available in English, French, and Spanish.
    • em/e/Person: This extracted metadata tag now includes firstname and lastname attributes; provides the additional person types: attorney, judge.
    • er/Person: A disambiguation tag that maps the extracted person to the corresponding person in the Thomson Reuters People Authority, in the Officers and Directors dataset, which is a universe of ~1.6M news worthy people. This capability is now available for English, French, and Spanish.
    • er/Geo: A disambiguation tag that maps an extracted City, Country, or ProvinceOrState to the corresponding geographical entity in the Thomson Reuters Metadata Authority. The geographical entity is identified by name and a Thomson Reuters PermID. This capability is now available for English, French, and Spanish.
    • er/Organization: A disambiguation tag that maps an extracted Organization to the corresponding organization in the Thomson Reuters Metadata Authority. The Organization is identified by name and the Thomson Reuters PermID. This capability is now available in English, French and Spanish.
    • er/Currency: A disambiguation tag that maps an extracted Currency to a currency in the Thomson Reuters Metadata Authority. The Currency is identified by name and the Thomson Reuters PermID. This capability is now available for English, French and Spanish.
    • er/Continent: A disambiguation tag that maps an extracted Continent to a continent in the Thomson Reuters Metadata Authority. The Continent is identified by name and the Thomson Reuters PermID. This capability is now available for English, French and Spanish.
    • er/Region: A disambiguation tag that maps an extracted Region to the corresponding region in the Thomson Reuters Metadata Authority. The Region is identified by name and the Thomson Reuters PermID. This capability is now available for English, French and Spanish.
    • forEndUserDisplay: An attribute available for all the Open Calais metadata tags. This attribute is a recommendation of whether the tag is suitable as a search item for a specific document or whether the metadata is primarily of use for aggregation and analytics on large quantities of documents.

    For Premium users :)

    The following additional metadata types are available upon subscription to Thomson Reuters Intelligent Tagging (TRIT):

    • TopmostPublicParentCompany (er/TopmostPublicParentCompany): This tag is generated when an extracted entity of the type Company is mapped to a company in the Thomson Reuters dataset that also has a publicly traded parent company. For example, a mention of IBM Japan would also yield an association of the document with IBM Corp. The openpermid attribute value is a direct link to the relevant company page on the Open PermID website (https://permid.org), and gives you direct access to high quality, curated Thomson Reuters company data.
    • PharmaceuticalDrug (em/e/PharmaceuticalDrug): This tag is generated when Open Calais identifies a mention of a pharmaceutical drug.
    • Deal (em/r/Deal, er/Deal): These tags are generated when a deal is identified by Open Calais and mapped to a deal in the Thomson Reuters Deal Authority. The Thomson Reuters Deal Authority is a repository of hundreds of thousands of corporate Mergers and Acquisitions.
    • Industry Tags: Industry tags identify the industries related to the companies mentioned in the text. The industry is identified by name, the Thomson Reuters classification ID (RCS Code), the Thomson Reuters business classification ID (TRBC Code), and the Thomson Reuters PermID.

The Category is identified by name, Thomson Reuters classification ID (RCS Code), and the Thomson Reuters PermID.
    • er/Geo: A disambiguation tag that maps an extracted City, Country, or ProvinceOrState to the corresponding geographical entity in the Thomson Reuters Metadata Authority.

    Functionality that is no longer available in the new OpenCalais:

    • GenericRelations: This function is no longer supported.
    • Simple Output Format: The simple output format cannot fully support the full richness of Open Calais metadata, therefore we have deprecated this format.
    • SOAP interface is no longer supported. Please use our REST API.
    • er/Product: Extracted Product entities are no longer mapped to CNET URL.
    • Calais LinkedData Repository: This function was deprecated to make room for a new and enhanced form of Linked Data, exposing Thomson Reuters entity masters via https://permid.org. Calais now links to entities available at https://permid.org.
    • The links to company data that appeared in the legacy Open Calais output are no longer supported. For the convenience of legacy Open Calais users, a new attribute, legacyid, has been temporarily added to the er/company and er/TopmostPublicParentCompany disambiguation tags. The purpose of this attribute is to enable you to map the old company links, which are no longer supported, to the corresponding new links. Please see the section Company Links for further details.
    • The RelevanceInfo tag generated for all extracted entities now provides discrete scores instead of continuous scores, (except for the RelevanceInfo tag generated for company entities, which includes both the relevance and relevancecont attributes).
