Internet 2.0 has not evolved as regards the way that
information is searched for on the Internet
I am in London ….
Where can I have lunch?….
In the current search engines….
We do the following …
• We enter the search
• The search engine :
– Finds the set of pages that contain the user's query somewhere (basically looking for
these words: where+can+I+have+lunch+in+London)
– Ranks the matching pages in order of relevance
– Takes a few sentences from each document that highlights the words that were typed
in.
– Returns the ranked URLs (non-structured information) and the snippets to the user as
results pages.
– Enables access to these URLs to “continue” the search 2

What Will be New on Pw2
New objects
• Objects necessary to create your Electronic Health Record: patient administrative data, health issues,
Medications, Test results, etc.
• Other objects proposed by users
Intelligent search functions in natural language (existing in the current release. Try it searching for
“The Best Restaurants in London”)
• Search by natural language. Enter a search sentence in natural language and it is transformed to
obtain the same results.
For example, enter the expression “Where to have lunch in London” and the search is automatically
launched for Restaurant Objects that exist in Pw2 related to London city.
New Web Services
• Presentation of an object in Google Maps (if its coordinates have been entered). Web service
particularly useful for Points of interest, etc.
• Making reservations at Hotels, Restaurants, etc.
• Integration with social networks (find partner, Who is Who, etc.)
