Access Innovations, Inc. is pleased to announce that the Data Harmony software line now includes inline tagging capability, beginning with Version 3.9, released earlier this year.

Inline Tagging Feature In Data Harmony 3.9 Installations Employing inline tags, the TestMAI screen in the MAIstro™  module now displays matching content in a highlighted font when a Data Harmony user runs M.A.I.™ (Machine Aided Indexer), putting the focus on indexing concepts as they appear in the input text. XML elements are applied in the text at the exact location where a word or phrase triggered a term suggestion from the controlled vocabulary (taxonomy or thesaurus).

Inline tagging keeps the context in view when M.A.I. makes a subject indexing match, and generates a statistical summary showing the list of matched terms. This provides a look at the operation of term-matching rules and improves the user’s experience during rule base testing and refinement.

Inline Tagging As a Software Product The Inline Tagging extension module is available as a Data Harmony web-based service, with configuration options for integrating M.A.I. into the user interface of a content management system.

“For Version 3.9, we added inline tagging for MAIstro and M.A.I. installations, as Data Harmony customers are seeing now when they run TestMAI on their data,” remarked Marjorie M. K. Hlava, President of Access Innovations, Inc. “And, we packaged Inline Tagging as a software module to be integrated with an organization’s content management program, in the interface.

The Inline Tagging extension puts M.A.I.’s indexing precision within the reach of users, users who may be requesting more Web functionality! Often, the first step to offering more interactivity at document level is the precise placement of inline subject tags… this step is accomplished through a thoughtful configuration of the Inline Tagging extension.”

“The Inline Tagging extension inserts an XML ‘wrapper element’ around matched words; it locates concepts from your vocabulary inside full-text documents,” explains Bob Kasenchak, Production Manager at Access Innovations. “The XML wrapper can be configured so your interface displays related information when a user points their cursor at the match. Or, the interface can display a link for the user to visit. But that’s not all… an IT department can deploy inline text tags to make search and retrieval in a large document collection more precise and context-sensitive.”

Implementation Ideas for Inline Tagging Web-based Service Extension:

  •  As a search engine tool to boost document search results
  • To turn up the volume of social media postings
  • To create a better, more searchable index of an XML database
  • To foster increased user interaction opportunities with documents

How the Inline Tagging Extension Works, Simplified Implementations of the Inline Tagging extension module are based on an organization’s controlled vocabulary and accompanying rule base, stored in a Data Harmony installation. The Inline Tagging API can retrieve any element from the vocabulary term record in order to offer relevant information alongside matched content, and it handles this ‘on the fly.’ This makes it convenient for a Web developer to implement customized functions for a content management system. Driven by data already stored in the term records, with Web-based services configured for the CMS interface, Inline Tagging gives users immediate access to supplemental information about the relevant controlled vocabulary terms, and any related concepts.
