Semantic Project Underway
The European STATegra Project has been tasked with developing solutions to connect data production and data analysis. This will enable biologists to gain enhanced insight and understanding of their experiments.
Semantic Search Match-Up
A known semantic search technology provider, hakai, recently announced it has licensed their product, hakia Enterprise Semantic Search (HESS), to a Flow.
How Search Works
Search has many parts. The parts of search are moving parts and every system does it a little differently. There’s the search software, based on one of two major camps. Then, there’s the computer network that it’s riding on. Then, there’s the way that the text is parsed, which is not always the same.
Don’t Miss the Data Harmony Users Group Meeting on February 18-20, 2013
Another exciting case study... MAI in Amazon Cloud using Amazon Web Services Nigel Kerr, JSTOR, and Bob Kasenchak, Access Innovations, Inc., will describe the revolutionary way MAI is being implemented by the JSTOR collection, which numbers about 8.5 million academic articles. Over the course of the JSTOR thesaurus project, we have to use the emergent thesaurus to index these articles several times for testing and implementation. One significant challenge is: how we can index and re-index this vast volume of data without slowing down the thesaurus assembly efforts? To meet this challenge we are using Amazon Web Services (aka "the Amazon cloud"), in which we can "rent" processing time and storage on-demand. This allows us use a large number of computer resources for a very short period of time to get the indexing done. Just another example of how MAI is being adapted to meet our clients needs!
Science & Technology Meet
The International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium will run in Melbourne from July 22-26, 2013. With a theme of “Building a Sustainable Earth through Remote Sensing,” the conference will include a strong technical program covering SAR, LiDAR, hyperspectral, optical, 3D, atmosphere, cryosphere, oceans, land, data management, semantic web, and more.
The Power of Findability
Berlin publisher De Gruyter has chosen a semantic content enrichment platform from Temis. Luxid, their premier product, works to ensure smooth delivery of content.
Social, Search, and Semantics
Jetlore is launching a platform designed to power the development of a social application. This sets a new path from the past when developers would have to basically reinvent the wheel over and over again.
Beefing Up the Search
Search Technologies recently announced they offer two new services for Google Search Appliance users. The Entity Recognition Assessment and Sensitive Data Assessment Services beef up their line of technology dedicated to enterprise search implementation.
