Josh Catone has written about Australian Museum tagging their online collection. To quote:

The automatically generated tags at right were created by the API for some swim wear designed by Speedo for the 1991 Australian swimming team that competed at the World Swimming Championships in Perth. Open Calais was correctly able to identify some important locations in the document — Perth where the competition took place, and Sydney where Speedo is based — as well as an important corporation (Speedo). It also picked up the name of the designer, and the name of the person who owned the suits before the museum.
