Law in the Wild: Citation extraction service and Glassware

I recently developed software to extract legal citations from text based documents and images, setting up the software as a web accessible service.  It began with a single in-house use, but was quickly realized to have further possibilities.  Setting up the software as a Web Service allowed for varied integration and platform development; browser plugin, webform, Google Glassware, use in other scripts, an Apache Solr plugin, and will eventually include a mobile app.
I plan to discuss the initial rationale and development hurdles and further iterations of the service.  The concept of SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) and why you should be doing it.  The use and pitfalls of the Google MirrorAPI, the documentation (or lack thereof), the REST interface for glassware.  And to look to the future implications and possibilities for the citation extraction service with respect to linked open data (LOD) and the semantic web ... and what you can do to help!
