2. USING THE SERVICE.

Our service is designed to enhance content submitted to it by analyzing that content and returning relevant metadata (tags, entities, categories) and content enhancements (related article, image links, graphics, photographs, illustrations, audio clips and video clips to you (collectively, “Recommendations”). The Service stores the derived metadata and content enhancements and can make them available to others provided they possess the appropriate Request ID (RID). The service also stores submitted content except in certain cases when handling delicate information (as specified below). There are several different ways to use the Service.

2.2 Displaying Zemanta’s Icon Logo.
