Enterprise search, once a hot topic, now faces new challenges with the adoption of hybrid and cloud environments. In SharePoint and Office 365, search isn’t equal, and before jumping on the Office 365 band wagon, organizations need to know as much as they can about potential challenges and pitfalls. Even in a SharePoint stand-alone environment, the consumption of content is forcing a renewed look at security, information lifecycle management, and non-compliance. Join us on Tuesday, October 28th, at 11:30am – 12:30pm EDT for this webinar packed with information on how to address search issues in SharePoint stand-alone, Office 365 hybrid, or cloud-only environments.
If you’re not sure how you would answer any of the below questions below, then this webinar is for you:.
• Does an enterprise search engine that provides the same transparency both on-premise and in the cloud matter to you? Does it matter to your users?
• With the huge push for Office 365, is enterprise search getting lost?
• Will the announcement of Delve push you over the edge in adopting Office 365? Why?
• What about managing content in the cloud? Do you have any reservations about security,or records, and what your users are doing in the cloud? (Bet you’ll be surprised.)
• What about migration? What goes where?
• How will you know what’s on your users’ OneDrives? Is DLP enough?
• Is your SharePoint search good enough? Have you calculated the ROI you can gain by improving it?
• How are you going to manage the ever increasing consumption of organizational content?

Data-Ed Online: Trends in Data ModelingDATAVERSITY
Businesses cannot compete without data. Every organization produces and consumes it. Data trends are hitting the mainstream and businesses are adopting buzzwords such as Big Data, data vault, data scientist, etc., to seek solutions for their fundamental data issues. Few realize that the importance of any solution, regardless of platform or technology, relies on the data model supporting it. Data modeling is not an optional task for an organization’s data remediation effort. Instead, it is a vital activity that supports the solution driving your business.
This webinar will address emerging trends around data model application methodology, as well as trends around the practice of data modeling itself. We will discuss abstract models and entity frameworks, as well as the general shift from data modeling being segmented to becoming more integrated with business practices.
Takeaways:
How are anchor modeling, data vault, etc. different and when should I apply them?
Integrating data models to business models and the value this creates
Application development (Data first, code first, object first)
Data Profiling: The First Step to Big Data QualityPrecisely
Big data offers the promise of a data-driven business model generating new revenue and competitive advantage fueled by new business insights, AI, and machine learning. Yet without high quality data that provides trust, confidence, and understanding, business leaders continue to rely on gut instinct to drive business decisions.
The critical foundation and first step to deliver high quality data in support of a data-driven view that truly leverages the value of big data is data profiling - a proven capability to analyze the actual data content and help you understand what's really there.
View this webinar on-demand to learn five core concepts to effectively apply data profiling to your big data, assess and communicate the quality issues, and take the first step to big data quality and a data-driven business.
Search Solutions 2011: Successful Enterprise Search By DesignMarianne Sweeny
When your colleagues say they want Google, they don’t mean the Google Search Appliance. They mean the Google Search user experience: pervasive, expedient and delivering the information that they need. Successful enterprise search does not start with the application features, is not part of the information architecture, does not come from a controlled vocabulary and does not emerge on its own from the developers. It requires enterprise-specific data mining, enterprise-specific user-centered design and fine tuning to turn “search sucks” into search success within the firewall. This presentation looks at action items, tools and deliverables for Discovery, Planning, Design and Post Launch phases of an enterprise search deployment.

2016 Building Bridges - Need for a Data Management StrategyBrad Bronsch
An institution’s success is either hampered or realized by the the lack of or availability of accurate, timely information. Without a comprehensive, enterprise approach to data management, it’s difficult to meet this need.
The objective of this document is to describe the global approach used to deploy Knowledge Management within a firm using the SharePoint and Semantik technologies.
Data-Ed Online: Emerging Trends in Data JobsDATAVERSITY
Data is the lifeblood of just about every organization and functional area today. As businesses struggle to come to grips with the data flood, it is even more critical to focus on data as an asset that directly supports business imperatives as other organizational assets do. Organizations across most industries attempt to address data opportunities (e.g. Big Data) and data challenges (e.g. data quality) to enhance business unit performance. Unfortunately however, the results of these efforts frequently fall far below expectations due to haphazard approaches. Overall, poor organizational data management capabilities are the root cause of many of these failures. This webinar covers three lessons (illustrated by examples), which will help you to establish realistic OM plans and expectations, and help demonstrate the value of such actions to both internal and external decision makers.
Takeaways:
Organizational thinking must change: Value-added data management practices must be considered and included as a vital part of your business strategy.
Walk before you run with data focused initiatives: Understand and implement necessary data management prerequisites as a foundation, then build upon that foundation.
There are no silver bullets: Tools alone are not the answer. Specifying business requirements, business practices and data governance are almost always more important.
Attend this session and explore the unseen world of metadata. Learn essential concepts about metadata and taxonomies used to organize metadata. Discuss the role standards play in the design of metadata and controlled vocabularies. Start to formulate strategies and tactics to take control of your metadata.
A Data Integration Case Study - Avoid Creating a “Franken-Beast”DATAVERSITY
Why should people store many kinds of data in one place? Why not put the many kinds in many places? Everyone who works with data and databases today acknowledges that we are all dealing with many different forms of data, requiring new tools and management approaches. This trend has been termed “Polyglot Persistence” by Martin Fowler, in his now-famous 2011 blog post. Enterprise data and even single-system data today often span all of the following: structured data sources, binaries, text data, and semantic RDF triples.
Yet the implementation of systems that manage poly-structured data is still dangerously complex and risky. In this webinar, Dr. Damon Feldman from MarkLogic will recount a true story of complex data integration gone wrong. Dr. Feldman will review the approaches and pitfalls associated with this issue, one he’s dubbed “Avoiding the Franken-Beast.” You’ll hear about a real-world project that grew too complex, and you’ll learn how to avoid this same situation of creating your own data “Franken-Beast.”
IT leaders from across North America were invited to share their viewpoint and perspective on delivering Agile IT. The study reflects the responses and trends related to their ability to deliver on business demands and readiness of existing technology to support those needs. We aggregated the results into following major themes: Strategy vs Reality, Agility & Technology Readiness, and Culture, Structure & People.
Transform Your Downstream Cloud Analytics with Data Quality Precisely

Register now to learn how to take the first steps to high-quality data in the cloud by better understanding your data through profiling.
During this on-demand webinar, we will explore key topics such as:
• The five key steps to effective data profiling
• How profiling informs your next steps to deliver quality data to the cloud
• How Precisely customers have elevated marketing and customer service results by focusing on data quality
Cross discipline collaboration benefits from group think, a consolidation of soft system methodology and user focused design that all starts with design thinking that sees clients, designers, developers and information architects working together to address user problems and needs. As with any great adventure, design thinking starts with exploration and discovery.This presentation examines the high level tenants of system thinking, expands the scope of user thinking to include tools and devices that users employ to find out designs and delve into the specifics of design thinking, its methods and outcomes.
Organizations must realize what it means to utilize data quality management in support of business strategy. This webinar will illustrate how organizations with chronic business challenges often can trace the root of the problem to poor data quality. Showing how data quality should be engineered provides a useful framework in which to develop an effective approach. This in turn allows organizations to more quickly identify business problems as well as data problems caused by structural issues versus practice-oriented defects and prevent these from re-occurring.

70% of all security breaches are due to an organization’s own staff. Register for this webinar and find out how not to become a statistic. Security is increasingly becoming a significant challenge, regarding how ensuring unstructured and semi-structured content is protected, and also the security rights of the individuals within the organization that need to be given or denied rights to organizational assets.
This Concept Searching webinar will focus on all aspects of security in a SharePoint environment, using native SharePoint tools, conceptClassifier for SharePoint, or integrated with your security application. conceptClassifier for SharePoint and conceptClassifier for Office 365 deliver semantic metadata generation, auto-classification, and taxonomy tools integrated natively with the SharePoint Term Store.
How does it work with privacy and confidential content? The products identify unknown security or confidential exposures in real-time from diverse repositories. Identification of not only standard descriptors but also organizationally defined vocabulary can also be identified. Once identified they are routed to a repository and removed from unauthorized access and portability.
84% of Migration Projects Fail – Getting it Right in SharePoint WebinarConcept Searching, Inc
Migration of unstructured content can be a laborious and time consuming project. Many documents can exist in multiple places at the same time, different revisions of the same document can exist, some documents should be deleted and others should be archived. Documents can reside on file shares, older versions of SharePoint, or other legacy content management systems.
There may be records that were never declared, as well as confidential or private information that will not be identified when migrated. The ability to mass move content is relatively straight forward. However, simply mass moving content will result in the same problem of mismanaged and unorganized content.
Learn how to avoid the typical pitfalls and get it right the first time.
In this webinar Portal Solutions and Concept Searching will address SharePoint migration issues, information architecture and best practices to ensure your migration doesn’t result in the typical project over-runs, post-upgrade production issues and unanticipated down time.
We will explore the strategies to design a taxonomy and metadata schema that will be the basis for information architecture in SharePoint, while understanding the functional planning of how users will interact with the various information elements within the SharePoint environment.
What you will learn about during this session:
• Best practices in defining a SharePoint information architecture
• Aligning the architecture with the business goals
• What is a metadata schema and why it's so important
• How to design a schema aligned to the business and its processes
• How conceptual metadata generation builds a consistent end user experience and decreases migration effort
• Differences between a proprietary taxonomy solution and a fully integrated SharePoint term store solution
• How to plan, architect and test your migration in an iterative fashion
• Maximize the return on investment from your migration budget
• Automatic migration of content driven by classification of metadata
Metadata used to be an afterthought. Now, metadata is a pre-requisite and the optimal mechanism to drive business processes like security and records and, of course, to manage content.
In this session Robert Piddocke, our Vice President of Channel and Business Development – passionate about information management, and author of books on SharePoint Search – explores how going meta helps transcend typical metadata use.
Robert discusses SharePoint functionality and what needs to be put in place to deploy a metadata-driven enterprise and build a framework for the future, and how metadata can be used to automate and drive business processes, and proactively manage content.

You Spoke, We Listened – Achieving a New Level of Search Optimization with Go...Concept Searching, Inc
Join us to learn how the combination of Google Search Appliance and conceptClassifier improves search outcomes. Concept Searching’s industry recognized technology, still unique in the market, provides the Google Search Appliance index with automatically generated semantic metadata, based on our core compound term processing, that generates multi-term metadata that represents concepts.
If you are using Google Search Appliance or evaluating search options, this webinar will provide highly useful information to understand how conceptClassifier improves search results in any search environment.
How does conceptClassifier improve Google Search Appliance results?
• Eliminates end user tagging.
• Automatically generates keywords and phrases that represent a concept.
• Accepts queries in natural language, with the user typing words, phrases or whole sentences, and inter-relationships among content,
• Retrieves highly relevant content even if the results do not contain the search string,
• Improves dynamic navigation through the use of semantic metadata.
• Improves result biasing as the results will automatically include related keywords and concepts.
• Eliminates the development of collections as the taxonomy hierarchy can be used to guide users to specific content based on their role and function – this also applies to segmentation.
• Can load synonym lists, but are not needed as the taxonomy manager component will recognize synonyms as well as related concepts during auto-classification. The results can be easily and quickly modified by an administrator.
• Blacklist and stop words can also be managed in the taxonomy component, without creating and uploading files and eliminating human subjectivity.
• Taxonomies are easily tuned and managed by Subject Matter Experts, providing unique features not available in any other taxonomy product.

If end users in your organization are like most, they don’t use the delete key often enough. The result is an overwhelming amount of saved content.
Records are often not declared, sensitive or privacy information lacks control, and redundant, obsolete, and trivial (ROT) files slow down search. All this causes noncompliance, and makes migration more complicated than it should be.
In this session we discuss content optimization, what it does, and why it should be done on a quarterly basis. We share details on how to reduce the number of servers needed, and experience a speedy, problem-free migration through content optimization.

Security tools don’t help when they work after the fact. Proactive identification of standard descriptors and confidential information must occur as content is created or ingested. Tough job? No, not really, as this webinar explains.
It takes only one vulnerability to cause a breach. 68% of all data breaches are caused internally. And 49% of SharePoint organizations have experienced at least one breach. There can be significant repercussions from data that has been exposed, ranging from hefty fines to irreparable brand damage.
Identifying and protecting data before breaches occur is the only way you can be certain that your content is protected. Most organizations are unprepared for this type of attack. Make sure yours is not one of them by understanding the issues and how to address them

Did you know that most migration projects run over budget or, even worse, fail? This webinar discusses the potential problems and how to address them.
The ability to mass move content is relatively straight forward but, from an information governance view, simply moving documents from one repository is not enough. Content that was unmanaged will remain unmanaged, continuing to expose organizations to risk.
Understand the sophisticated techniques needed to ensure compliance and records management objectives are met, during the migration process:
• The difference between migration and intelligent migration, and why it matters
• How intelligent migration facilitates the entire migration process
• Why compliance and governance go hand in hand with intelligent migration
• What content optimization is, and why is it a critical component of intelligent migration
• Why intelligent migration dramatically improves search

We explore the content management revolution and why using metadata as the core infrastructure will accomplish effective CLM and overcome the current boundaries of ECM operation.
Much ado about nothing? There is a difference between these solutions, and your organization should be ready to leverage your technology investment.
What you will take away:
• The difference between ECM and CLM, and why it matters • How does CLM address compliance, governance, and records management?
• How and why you should set up CLM as an infrastructure framework • How to remove end users from the process of content management, to eliminate errors and rework • What does the digital workplace have to do with anything?
• Why an open connector framework is no longer a nice-to-have, but a must-have

SharePoint and Office 365 State of the Market Survey Results WebinarConcept Searching, Inc
This engaging and thought-provoking bird’s-eye view of projects your SharePoint and Office 365 colleagues are working on, their priorities and future initiatives, and what’s been put on the back burner.
What did the survey respondents tell us?
• Hybrid search is perceived as a nice-to-have feature, but not something organizations will be using to address their priority of improving search.
• Collaboration is this year’s must-have, while text analytics and social business applications are at the bottom of the priority list.
• Enterprise search and content lifecycle management have become high priorities, yet 91% of organizations still perform manual tagging.
• Critical business applications, such as records management, enterprise metadata management, eDiscovery, and security, are most often managed on-premises.
• Security is still the primary concern, but its importance has decreased from 59% last year to 40% this year.
Coexist or Integrate? Manage Unstructured Content from Diverse Repositories a...Concept Searching, Inc
Are you successfully managing your unstructured content? Have you quantified the risks and costs of not proactively managing your content? Did you know that you can dramatically improve search, eDiscovery, security, records management, migration, collaboration, text analytics, and business social applications, just by getting your unstructured content in order? Learn how to effectively clean up, optimize, and organize your file share content.
There are key solutions built on core technology platforms that will enable you to achieve these improvements. The conceptClassifier for SharePoint and conceptClassifier for Office 365 platforms automatically generate multi-term metadata that form concepts. Imagine it – eliminating end user tagging.
And the conceptClassifier for File Shares utility makes file shares discoverable, searchable, optimized, and organized. It automatically tags and classifies documents to a term set, for improving search and eDiscovery, and preparing content for migration.
Auto-classification and one natively integrated taxonomy/Term Store, available on-premises, in the cloud, or in a hybrid environment, provide the backdrop for a single enterprise search, regardless of where end users are located. Tackle information governance and standardize processes across the entire enterprise.The team from C/D/H provided the knowledge, planning, and optimization to intelligently migrate the manufacturer’s content from on-premises Search 2013 to the Office 365 Hybrid Search platform, using Concept Searching’s new utility, conceptClassifier for Hybrid Search.
The solution allows any of the 40,000 users to search 20 million documents from over 30 content sources, securely and within seconds. It leveraged the Microsoft Azure cloud platform, which reduced the required infrastructure tenfold, while improving performance and reducing complexity in the digital workplace.

The value of metadata still falls under the radar, business professionals ask ‘what’s in it for me?’ and IT professionals realize that, for the most part, manually created metadata is meaningless. The answer is to automatically generate metadata. This session will examine how automating tagging with end user involvement is ineffective, and capturing existing metadata is useful, but nuances, relationships, and concepts are lost, unless terms are manually added, which are highly subjective.
The somewhat elusive, missing component is how to automatically generate metadata capable of identifying concepts within content, in the context in which the content was written, without end user participation. This opens the door to reuse the metadata to drive other processes. Discover why having the right metadata is key when analyzing documents, not only generating appropriate metadata automatically but also generating metadata that contains concepts within the context of the environment. Before pushing that metadata to SharePoint or preparing documents for migration.
You will learn:
* How you can automatically get metadata into the Microsoft search index.
* How to can optimize your content migration by classifying documents.
* Understand how content can be processed, regardless of location – online or on-premises.
* How metadata can be surfaced in the search refinement panel.
Exploring Automatic Metadata Generation Based on SharePoint Term SetsConcept Searching, Inc
Many software products perform metadata capture and auto-classification, but SharePoint on-premises and SharePoint Online do not. Surveys indicate that the use of term sets is growing. Ideally, auto-classification of content to a taxonomy or to the SharePoint Term Store should be automatic and synchronized in real time.
This approach enables modification and fine tuning of data in a robust, secure, enterprise solution, which automatically populates term sets and eliminates the significant amount of development time typically needed. This session will discuss the different approaches to metadata generation – such as statistical, linguistic, and machine learning. And it will explore how automatically generating metadata adds value to all your SharePoint content, and automatically populates managed metadata properties.
You will learn:
* The benefits of metadata based on SharePoint term set structures.
* How you can manage term set GUIDs between farms.
* The relationship between managed metadata properties in SharePoint and document properties in Office documents.
* How to improve findability, regardless of which version of SharePoint you are using.
* What considerations you should give to scalability.

deployed since 2003 to automatically generate metadata and use that metadata to apply and enforce
policies. Most clients are using the platform to support their information governance strategy.
• Proven, mature functionality out of the box - The platform has been deployed in numerous sites
and applications across the enterprise, including MOSS and SharePoint 2010, 2013, Office 365, Stellent,
Documentum, SQL, Oracle, File Shares, Exchange via SharePoint and across the enterprise.
Smart Content Framework™
Getting It Right
6. • Concept Searching’s statistical concept identification underpins all technologies
• Multi-word suggestion is explicitly more valuable than single term suggestion algorithms
• conceptClassifier will generate conceptual metadata by
extracting multi-word terms that identify ‘triple heart bypass’
as a concept as opposed to single keywords
• conceptTaxonomyManager uses statistical concept
identification to provide real-time feedback during the process
of building, testing, refining, and deploying taxonomies
• Metadata can be used by any search engine index or any
application/process that uses metadata.

7. A Manual Metadata Approach Will Fail 95%+ Of The Time
Issue Organizational Impact
Inconsistent Less than 50% of content is correctly indexed, meta-tagged or
efficiently searchable rendering it unusable to the organization. (IDC)
Risky 59% of middle managers miss valuable information every day
because they can’t find it or never see it (Accenture)
Cumbersome - expensive Average cost of manually tagging one item runs from $4 - $7 per
document and does not factor in the accuracy of the meta tags nor the
repercussions from mis-tagged content. (Hoovers)
Malicious compliance End users select first value in list.
(Perspectives on Metadata, Sarah Courier)
No perceived value for end user What’s in it for me? End user does not see value for organization nor
risks associated with litigation and non- conformance to policies. Less
than 14% of end users receive training. (AIIM)
What have you seen Metadata will continue to be a problem due to inconsistent human
behavior.
The answer to consistent metadata is an automated approach that can extract the meaning
from content eliminating manual metadata generation yet still providing the ability to manage
knowledge assets in alignment with the unique corporate knowledge infrastructure.
Manual Approach Leads to Failure
8. Learning to Search
• Searchers do not know “how to search”
• 56% constructed poor queries
• Proficiency with the machine does not translate
into proficiency with the software
• Searchers get lost in the data
• 33% had difficulty navigating/orienting search
results
• 28% had difficulty maintaining orientation on a
website
• Loss of capacity for discernment
• 36% did not go beyond the first 3 search results
• (not pages…results on page 1)
• 91% did not go beyond the first page of search
results
• 55% selected irrelevant results 1 or more times
9. • Enterprise versus Internet search is a different animal
• In the enterprise end users know the information is there
if they could only find it
• As a result, they will spend more time and aggravation
looking for that one asset and don’t want to give up
(IDC)
• Enterprise end users expect information to be found
within 4 minutes but will actually spend 2.5 hours per
day looking for information
• How do enterprise users overcome poor search results?
• Recreate information
• Use outdated or older versions of information
• Interrupt a co-worker
• Forget about finding the information
• Just don’t start the task
The Typical Search Approach
10. The Hidden Costs of Search
“There is a debilitating disconnect between the proliferation of electronic information and the
constant need to quickly and accurately find all of the information and expertise that is
essential for work every day. From top to bottom, enterprises have failed to take seriously the
high cost of being grossly inadequate at finding information, data, documents, experts. Instead
they have settled for low performance, low-return techniques to… sort of handle Search.”
Julie Hunt - Search Consultant
The cost to a 500 employee company is
$2.4 million per year in inefficiencies
and lost productivity.
Gartner Group
12. • People explore concepts – computers find keywords
• Recall versus Precision
• Location Search
• User knows what they are seeking
• Search engine must retrieve exactly and only the information required
• Discovery Search
• User does not know precisely what they are seeking
• Search engine must retrieve content that “appears” to answer the query
• Search engine must be able to accommodate both types of searching
• The hierarchy provided by a taxonomy addresses the two different search
approaches. Location based searches appear simple, but in fact are not.
• If the end user does not immediately find what they are looking for, they can use the
hierarchical structure to drill down by searching the concepts or taxonomy nodes.
• Outcome: Identify associations and relationships that are typically not obvious in
searching
• More relevant information being found more quickly
• Accessing inter-related ideas and concepts supports a fundamental change in
user focus and activity and transforms it from searching to insight and discovery
Taxonomy Navigation
13. It’s Not Just About Search!!
• Data Privacy
• Records Management
• Migration
• Enterprise Content Management
• Information Governance
• Legal, eDiscovery, FOIA
• Collaboration/Social
• Text Analytics
14. conceptClassifier for SharePoint
• conceptClassifier for SharePoint
• Combination of automatic classification, taxonomy management and Concept Searching’s
APIs packaged for delivery into the SharePoint environment
• Single code able to be deployed with SharePoint 2007, 2010, 2013, and Office 365
• Provides clients with the choice of on-premise, cloud based, or hybrid solutions to best meet
their needs
• Integrates with any search engine (SharePoint, former FAST products, Google Search
Appliance, etc.)
• Classifies content as it is created or ingested from diverse repositories within and outside of
SharePoint
• conceptTaxonomyWorkflow
• Optional component that can perform an action on a document following a classification
decision when the criteria are met
• Built with a plug-in architecture enabling the simple development of content sources
• Uses records retention codes, semantic, and security metadata associated to data assets to
identify and process the automatic application of content types
• Once documents have the appropriate content type, based on natural language and
automatically applied metadata, workflows can be initiated.
• Workflow source type works in the SharePoint 2007, 2010, and 2013 as well as for all
document types, FILE document types, and HTTP document types
15. conceptClassifier for Office 365
• Runs natively and bi-directionally with the SharePoint Term Store in any
environment
• Portability – ubiquitous access to information regardless of where it resides or
how it is stored
• Provides “intelligent” migration capabilities
• Enables management of one term store for on premise and Office 365 use
• Maintains GUIDs
• Delivers enterprise class automatic document classification for all SharePoint,
FILE, and HTTP document types
• Protects records and confidential information from inadvertently being place in
the cloud to avoid data breaches and unauthorized access to information
• Enables concept based search and retrieval integrated with Microsoft search
solutions
• Provides a method to enable text analytics from multiple data sources without
impacting on-premise server utilization

34. Taxonomy Management
Enabling the Automatic Meta-tagging and Auto-Classification of Documents and Records
Each node is a piece of metadata that gets tagged to a document or record based upon the
prevalence of a clue within the document
Manually Created Metadata associated
with the concept of “Weather”
Distribution Statement A: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited
311 ABG/PA No. 09-488, 16 Oct 2009
35. Automatic Metadata Generation
Unique IP of Compound Term Processing enables the identification of compound terms
(not keywords) from highly relevant content that can be used to trigger the automatic
meta-tagging and auto-classification processes
Automatically Generated
Metadata associated with
the concept of “Weather”
Distribution Statement A: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited
311 ABG/PA No. 09-488, 16 Oct 2009
36. Automatic Metadata Generation
Automatically generated metadata is added to original metadata for the category/folder
Outcome: more semantics that can be linked to a document or record result in information that
becomes more actionable (the document/record is now retrievable and classifiable)
Highly relevant metadata generated by
Taxonomy Manager added to original clue
set for the concept of “Weather”
Distribution Statement A: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited
311 ABG/PA No. 09-488, 16 Oct 2009
37. Automatic Meta-tagging
Metatags are automatically added to the properties field of each document
enhancing the document’s valuable to the organization by increasing
the ability of the document to be retrieved using enterprise search
solutions that use keywords and metadata to retrieve information
38. Automatic Meta-tagging in Action
One of the Metatags for the document was “Turbulence Encounter” however when
we search for this term within the document we do not find it
Why did this happen?
39. Automatic Meta-tagging in Action
Turbulence Encounter is only one of 4 “clues” that must exist within a document in order for
that document to be automatically meta-tagged with the concept of Turbulence Encounter
Distribution Statement A: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited
311 ABG/PA No. 09-488, 16 Oct 2009
40. Automatic Meta-tagging in Action
When we search the document using another clue for Turbulence Encounter, “Windshear”,
we see that its existence within the document triggered the automated meta-tagging event
that resulted in the document being tagged with “Turbulence Encounter”
41. Automatic Meta-tagging
Metatags are automatically added to the properties field of each document
making the document more valuable to the organization by increasing
the ability of the document to be retrieved using enterprise search
solutions that use keywords and metadata to retrieve information
