Google equivalent to Yahoo Placemaker

Question

Does Google has a service similar to Yahoo! Placemaker:

1. Developers specify structured and unstructured content; feeds, web pages, news, status articles, etc.

2. Placemaker identifies, disambiguates and extracts places

3. Placemaker returns geographic metadata, which determines the whereness of structured and unstructured content

?

Thanks

Answer 1

I don't think so, and I would be scared when it happens. Skynet won't be far off.. ;)

It sounds very similar to Reuters OpenCalais: http://www.opencalais.com/

Answer 2

No they don't have it.
