This document discusses an enterprise content management solution called Sensefy that provides semantic search capabilities across heterogeneous data sources. It semantically enhances unstructured content using named entity recognition and linking to external knowledge bases. Sensefy uses the Media In Context (MICO) platform for cross-media analysis and metadata extraction. The system allows for federated search across different repositories as well as entity-driven search with disambiguation and suggestion capabilities. A demo is provided to showcase these semantic search features.

5. Work Together Effectively
Problem
• Unstructured Text Content
– Text documents, PDFs, Word …
• Rapid growth in multimedia content
• Heterogeneous Data Sources
– ECMs (Alfresco, Sharepoint), File System,
Confluence, JIRA …
• Data is not useful without effective methods for
– Knowledge Extraction
– Information Retrieval

Current Enterprise Search
Limitations
• Limited to keyword based search
• Search context is not considered
• Ambiguity of terms
• Low precision
• Inability to properly handle multimedia files

7. Work Together Effectively
Desired traits of Solution
• Semantically Enhance documents
– Unstructured text
– Multimedia documents
• Cross media search
• Search with semantic concepts and entities
• Federated Search
– Search across different content repositories
– User permissions

Repository Crawler
• Four types of connectors
– Repository Connectors
– Authority Connectors
– Transformation Connectors
– Output Connectors
• Connect different source repositories with different target indexes
– Source repositories (Alfresco, Sharepoint, Confluence etc)
– Target Indexes (Solr, ElasticSearch, Amazon CloudSearch)
• Security Model to enforce source repository security policies

11. Work Together Effectively
Media In Context (MICO)
Platform
• MICO provides an integrated platform for
– Cross media analysis
– Metadata publishing
– Metadata querying
• Sensefy uses MICO as the cross media analysis engine to extract entities and concepts
from multimedia

13. Work Together Effectively
Semantic Content Enrichment
• Named Entity Recognition
– People, places, organizations and concepts
• Entity Linking
– DBpedia, Yago, Custom Enterprise knowledge bases
• Entity Disambiguation

14. Work Together Effectively
Entity Search with Suggestions
• Named Entity Suggestions
• Ability to query with disambiguated entities
• Search results with high precision
– Keyword search results for “ronaldo”- “Cristiano Ronaldo” and “Ronaldo”
– Entity Search - will contain only the documents related to selected entity

15. Work Together Effectively
Entity Search with Suggestions
• Combine entities and concepts for more complex queries
