A couple of weeks ago there was a blog post, or repost by Jeff Carr, on the Early Site. I enjoyed reading it, and of course I have a few thoughts and places where I do not exactly agree. Let me take them on this week. There are 5 Myths. I will write about each of them separately. Myth #1: SharePoint now has taxonomy management.
Provider of home health care coding and auditing services, Daymarck, has reacted to a statement released by the American Medical Association (AMA) where they came out against the ICD-10 conversion.
New science publications are appearing almost as fast as the digital data that is being created. MEDLINE – the US National Library of Medicine’s biomedical bibliographic database – now lists over 19 million records and adds up to 4,000 new records daily. With that kind of number, it quickly becomes unmanageable for scientists.
Elsevier has released new features for its online research tool BrainNavigator. In this new version, BrainNavigator 3.2, Elsevier added new content and functionality to give researchers additional tools to accelerate their research.
Centralized indexes for discovery services seems to be the new fad. Beginning with Summon from Serials Solutions and followed by EBSCO Discovery Service, Primo Central from Ex Libris and OCLC’s WorldCat Local, these services depend on massive indexes populated with content representing each component of a library’s collection.
IOD Incorporated has launched the IOD Learning Institute (ILI), an education platform that includes online learning, classroom led education and personalized one-on-one learning. This comes about in preparation for the ICD-10 transition.
A constant challenge for any content manager is the training to apply the right tags and metadata. We all know how important leaving these breadcrumbs can be to operating a comprehensive search. It is like filing something away in a blank folder with no idea of what it is and no way to find it. The DataFacet solution from WAND Inc provides sets of extensive taxonomies, and tools to automate the classification of documents and web content.
A leader in semantic search technology and innovation intelligence software has beefed up their management team. Invention Machine has appointed four senior executives to the company's management team as a strategic growth move.
Taxonomy management tools have come a long way in tackling content organization challenges. However there seems to be no consistency in the tools and their approach. This is key as corporate requirements for search and content management have changed and grown for tools that help organizations create, administer, and publish semantic structures.
Many sophisticated semantic search tools build ontologies and taxonomies to organize the data. David Patterson, the co-founder and CEO of Sophia Search, doesn’t think this is necessary and seeks freedom from taxonomies or ontologies.
