Welcome to the April – May 2009 issue of the Enterprise Search Newsletter! We open with an interview with Rennie Walker about the Content Supply Chain, then a Case Study by Bruce Kiefer and his team from Catalyst Repository Systems about language detection tool kits. Dr Search explains the differences between taxonomies and ontologies, and of course What's New. Plan to JOIN US in May at the Enterprise Search Summit in New York! Attivio is sponsoring the 3rd annual Searchdev.org dinner on Monday the 11th; be sure to RSVP to searchdev@ideaeng.com soon! By the way, our talk this year is about ways you can extend the life of your current search technology and potentially save hundreds of thousands of dollars - doing more with less – a subject on everyone's mind.
The Content Supply Chain is a model that allows you to think about the series of tasks needed to take content from its initial conception as an editorial idea to its being found and used from within a search based interface. Without a model to help uncover what's really going on with our content and user experiences it, we're only left with abstract business problem symptom names.
Catalyst Repository Systems, Inc. handles huge volumes of documents for their clients who are engaged in high volume eDiscovery. Not only do large companies routinely have documents in different languages, for some of their clients up to one quarter of the content contains multiple languages in individual documents. The Catalyst technical team needed to find a reliable and controllable set of tools for multi-language document detection.
What’s the difference between Taxonomies and Ontologies? And do you even need to care?
