Trees, Fractals, and Taxonomies
By Melody Smith|July 21st, 20142014-07-20T17:00:47-04:00
If you look at a branch of a typical deciduous tree, you can see that it looks like a smaller tree. Likewise, that branch branches off into smaller branches that look like even smaller trees. This characteristic of trees is an example of what mathematicians, biologists, and systems scientists call self-similarity. Self-similar systems repeat their basic geometry at smaller and smaller scales, creating multiple miniatures of themselves at different scales. In general, natural and mathematical systems in which self-similarity results in complex and detailed patterns are referred to as fractal systems.

Streamlining the Search
By Melody Smith|July 21st, 20142014-07-20T15:31:47-04:00
Modern records management is in a process of evolution. Many organizations, including private, public and government, have begun to digitize, because maintaining paper and digital records together is no longer feasible. Manually indexing is just too difficult and time consuming, so a tool is needed to accomplish this goal. However, it is more than just indexing. Streamlining the discovery portion is as important, if not more important.

Searching and Finding
By Melody Smith|July 18th, 20142014-07-17T21:46:53-04:00
Do the current methods of searching the Internet actually have an expiration date? The scientists at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) believe that just may be the case. Their goal is to revolutionize the discovery, organization, and presentation of results.

Standards and Taxonomies – Match Made in Heaven
By Melody Smith|July 17th, 20142014-07-16T19:42:23-04:00
A recent study revealed an open standard for fixed-income reference data would better coordinate taxonomies, even with the Enterprise Data Management (EDM) Council's Financial Industry Business Ontology (FIBO).

Digitizing Preserves Valuable Data
By Melody Smith|July 16th, 20142014-07-15T21:07:52-04:00
The volume and rapid growth of data, which can be overwhelming for information managers, have completely changed the approach and risk to records management. Mistakes can result in financial implications.

The Semantics of Search
By Melody Smith|July 15th, 20142014-07-14T21:19:56-04:00
Semantic search continues to develop and be even more integral to information management, but how does it affect your efforts to identify and employ keywords? This is assuming that keywords even matter anymore. How does it help make your content findable?
