Semantic Search

Benefits include:

• Faster access to information
• Better results through semantic precision
• Greater value and reuse of content

If your staff, customers, and systems can’t find the right information quickly, it costs you money. When they can find the information assets that they need (and perhaps, related ones as well), they can do their jobs better.

Today’s progressive organizations are deploying semantically enriched search solutions for unified access to information stored in different repositories, formats, and with differing metadata. These solutions:

• Improve findability by offering intuitive navigation paths based on related topics held in semantic models
• Increase ‘dwell time’ by guiding web visitors to relevant content
• Allow people to use their unique local terminology to find information that have been tagged using a different language
• Automate federated searches by using semantic models to translate user’s search request into the unique language of each information source
• Ease management and re-use of content by abstracting metadata from the web pages and documents while managing it at the desired level of granularity
