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!
