Agile Taxonomies for Exalead Cloudview

Exalead Cloudview is a very powerful enterprise search platform. AR·Semantics for Exalead Cloudview leverages that power to provide an exceptionally flexible enterprise taxonomy platform.

AR Semantics for CloudviewWhy Classification?

Better metadata means better search.  Metadata is the structure for the unstructured.   Whether it is simply a file path, a title or author name, good metadata can help others find your document.

A common solution to the lack of metadata is to force users to add it to documents.   Users hate this and will subvert these efforts.   What they need is a way to automatically add metadata to documents.   That’s what AR·Semantics provides.

It’s simple, it’s fast and it’s effective.

Automatic Classification

AR·Classifier is a high-throughput pattern matching machine.   Text goes in, matching rules come out.  Then it applies the metadata generated by the rules to the document properties.

Rules can be simple or complex, but they are fully deterministic.  You know why something matches.

The result is a faceted navigation based on the contents of the documents.  Refine and narrow down queries with a couple of clicks to find exactly the documents you are looking for.

Why Taxonomies?

Taxonomies are good. Taxonomies work.   Taxonomies are natural and organic and helpful.

The human brain organizes information as a hierarchy.   A hierarchy, or taxonomy, is a model for how we envision the world.   Of all the semantic tools available to us, taxonomies are the most ubiquitous and powerful.  You can explain them to your parents, and they will get it.

Taxonomy Management

AR·Taxonomy is a multi-platform application for editing taxonomies.   You can create your own or import both proprietary and open source taxonomies from many sources.

Edit the taxonomy with drag-and-drop ease, add rules and test them against your actual documents.   See how the taxonomy will behave in real-time and tweak it for best results.

When you’re ready, publish the taxonomy to the CloudView server and your documents are automatically classified by the rules in the taxonomy.

You’ll be amazed at how your data opens up when it is organized with a taxonomy that matches your business concepts.

Why Exalead CloudView?

With Exalead CloudView, huge quantities of information can be exploited with ease. The platform uses semantic technologies to reconcile formats, structures and terminologies, and identify embedded meanings and relationships within and across resources. All information sources are unified in a robust modular index that ensures continuous access and optimal use of server resources through distribution and data redundancy.

Migrating the query load to Exalead CloudView means a huge reduction in the load on the database, and an end to the resource conflicts between accessing and updating data.
