Sitecore is world renowned CMS tool and to improve the accessibility, value, and interoperability of the content, they have introduced a tool named Sitecore Cortex Content Tagging. This tool is available from Sitecore 9.1 version and fosters a way to tag the people, products, places, events, etc.
The Sitecore cortex content tagging feature integrates the Sitecore CMS with a machine learning-based natural language processing(NLP) engine like Refinitiv Intelligent Tagging Open Calais. Sitecore utilizes semantic metadata (which gets generated from NLP) to tag content with user-defined taxonomy.
