Semantic Tagging and Ontologies
Nature Publishing Group has chosen Molecular Connections to carry out ontology enhancements for its key subject terms and semantic tagging for its back files.
Data Standard Models in Competition
Open Data Model is a fairly new organization, at least compared to EDM Council. But these competing models have been busy lately. EDM set out classifications based on asset class distinctions as the basis for its model. Open Data's model is based on the ISO 10962 standard and the same organizing principles as Wikipedia.
No Ontology? Hmpf!
Lucky Sort is building a visualization and navigation engine called TopicWatch meant for discovering patterns in live data streams. Information overload may soon become a thing of the past with this new product. Imagine sifting through social media, government filings, news and commentary in real time, on your iPad.
Young Entrepreneur Creates Mobile Search App
A London teenager has designed a new iPhone app which summarizes the content of web pages. This entrepreneurial pubescent created Summly while studying for exams and using Google for research. In an effort to make the process more efficient and informative, Summly provides a content summary of search results with a quick snapshot of the most relevant information relating to a story.
Knowledge Organization Requires Standards
There is much automation in the medical world, both in treatment and billing. One of those that were hardest for physicians to accept was clinical pathways. A clinical pathway is a common medical treatment for a disease and care developed by one of the most appropriate care plans. These are used as management models in an effort to improve health care quality and to control medical costs. Standardized electronic clinical pathways use ontologies as shared conceptual models or knowledge organization.
Improving Content and Classifications
Wielding SAS Text Analytics helps to reduce manual tagging, improves search results and supports ad revenue generation. This improved digital content performance is achieved by indexing, tagging and classifying data so that the ultimate in findability is achieved.
RemedyMD Releases New Databases
RemedyMD plans to launch the Mosaic Lymphoma and Mosiac Leukemia registries at the upcoming American Society of Hematology annual meeting and exposition December 10-13 in San Diego, California.
Semantic Search in Ontologies
One of the important components of many bioinformatic algorithms are semantic similarity searches in ontologies. There are, unfortunately, no algorithms for computing the exact distribution of semantic similarity scores.
Department of Defense to the Rescue
Though semantic technology has become much more common in and out of the IT world, it is still ones of those terms that can cause you to lose your audience very quickly. The Defense Department thought so too, so they created an explanation of semantic technology using a brief video to address ontologies, natural language processing, etc. Did I lose you again? Just watch this.
