The Semantic Approach

August 19, 2014 / Melody Smith / Comments Off on The Semantic Approach

The possibilities and limitations of semantic search continue to be evaluated as more and more enterprises and applications utilize the technology. Semantic search can be challenging to understand, let alone implement. If all your experience of search engine use has been the Boolean search of the past, then this is a new world for you to explore.

The good news is that while semantic search may be difficult to implement at the Google level, for the end user it has actually become a little easier. This topic was inspired by the post on David Amerland’s blog, “Semantic Search – Three Basic Principles You Need to Know About.”

Semantic technology requires a special knowledge of terminology and coding to reduce errors. Access Innovations, developer of the M.A.I. machine-assisted indexing system and specializing in complex coding, tagging, and indexing, provides a range of services that deliver tag integrity.
