BetaBeat brought this news to our attention in their article, “Armed with a Big Data Offering and a Brooklyn Office, Q-Sensei Eyes America.” Created from the merger of a German and an American company, Q-Sensei’s primary product is an enterprise software platform, designed to help businesses sort through their vast amounts of internal clutter. Until recently, the company has largely flown under the radar. Their new-and-improved ontology-based data processing is meant to make it faster and easier for businesses to develop new search applications.

Search based on a solid ontology will always be more comprehensive and improve the findability of your data.

MarketWatch brought this news to our attention in their article, “Pneuron Launches Business-Driven Cloud Platform That Revolutionizes Enterprise Application Market.” This technology can extend the life of existing applications and eliminate those costly out-of-sync data warehouses. That should make a lot of folks happy.

In addition, it can create new, compound, or hybrid applications by combining components or functions from any existing legacy technology, application, or data environment, and allow access to an enterprise function, intelligence, work flow or ontology – even in the clouds.

If you are like me and thinking, “What?”, keep reading. Technology has advanced and staffing continues to be reduced in all areas, especially human resources, so they now rely on computer software to glean applicants.

This interesting and somewhat sobering information was found on News Observer in their article, “Use key phrases in resume to catch computer’s eye.” The key to working with the technology instead of against it is to use the posting verbiage in your resume in obvious ways so that the computer picks up on the commonalities. Sounds like a trick, but when you consider that the average job applicant has a 4 to 5 percent chance of getting a “hit” from a computer selection process without resume optimization, it emphasizes the seriousness. Reports show that those same odds can increase to 50 percent when appropriate optimization is applied.

Information Week Healthcare brought this news to our attention in their article, “Feds Propose One-Year ICD-10 Delay.” The compliance deadline for ICD-10 had been set for October 1, 2013, but after pressure from some health industry groups, HHS disclosed it was evaluating extending the deadline for ICD-10. However, at that time HHS did not announce how long the extension would be. Some wondered if the delay would be permanent, but this announcement nixes that.

The new ICD-10 coding classification system will have five times the number of codes to use for billing reimbursement than the current ICD-9 does. Access Innovations’ M.A.I. machine-assisted indexing system and specialists in complex coding, tagging, and indexing can minimize the risk of coding errors with proper training and quality assurance. Many widely used tagging systems lack a user-friendly interface and may not implement a rigorous ANSI-compliant coding subsystem. Access Innovations’ solutions are ANSI-compliant and implement state-of-the-art technology to speed tagging and reduce errors.

Maybe it will become a stepping stone to social? Once you have email and then delve into social media, you lose the need for email. Or maybe it is like radio to video and Internet is to television? They both have their place for their respective tasks and audiences. What do you think?

We found this interesting topic on TechCrunch in their article, “Remembering Email.”

This entertaining information was found on The Verge in their article, “Movie Explorer acts as your film librarian for Windows.” The software is relatively simple and is quick to scan and collect metadata from files. The thoroughness of tagging is less than stellar, and that just shows the importance of a quality, experienced indexing process in any document or video management system.

This interesting piece of information was found on IT Pro Portal in their article, “LinkedIn Gives IndexTank Source Code to Open Source Community.” IndexTank is the same company that had previously deployed search systems at numerous other big Web companies, including the likes of BitTorrent, TaskRabbit and Reddit.

With social media comes collaboration. What is more collaborative than open source? Having a strategy that focuses on the problems they want to solve or the capabilities they want to support, and allowing experimental approaches can result in dynamic results.

MarketWatch brought this news to our attention in their article, “Vertical Search Works Launches New Faceted VS4Food Search.” VS4Food organizes results into relevant categories or facets, along with relevant images. The search results also contain relevant advertisements selected by their semantic ad matching technology.

This interesting attempt at findability can be made possible with proper indexing. Proper indexing against a strong standards-based taxonomy increases the findability of data. Access Innovations is one of a very small number of companies able to help its clients generate ANSI/ISO/W3C-compliant taxonomies.

This interesting information was found on PRWeb in their article, “Perkins+Will Using Concept Searching’s Smart Content Framework.” Taxonomies and thesauri are the foundation of solid indexing. This makes it very important to choose a professional to help you build dynamic, solid standards-based taxonomies. Access Innovations is one of a very small number of companies able to help its clients generate ANSI/ISO/W3C-compliant taxonomies and associated rule bases for machine-assisted indexing.

This information was found on HPC Wire in their article, “Lustre Vendors Consider File System’s Future.” There was much discussion about the current limits, and one topic was the limitations of the single metadata server. There is apparently plans for improving metadata performance on a single server, which was good to hear.
