In the enterprise, effective search is critical. It supports decision-making and risk management, and helps deal with an ever-increasing volume of information.
Many organizations have therefore made huge investments in enterprise-wide search systems. But despite this, recent surveys show that many users still have significant issues in actually finding the content they want.
"40% of organizations are dissatisfied with their current search solution.
Key obstacles?
Poor search functionality
Inconsistencies in how information is tagged
People don't know where to look or what to look for”Findwise
All of this leads to fewer people using the system and consequently a poor return on investment.
Fast, effective search needs semantic enrichment
Semantics is the study of meaning. ‘Semantic search’ is a way of improving search accuracy by understanding the intent of the searcher and the contextual meaning of the terms they use.
I2E is able to identify relevant concepts and relationships in a document and attach them as metadata - so called ‘semantic enrichment’. Existing enterprise-level search engines (e.g. Microsoft SharePoint, Apache Lucene) can then ‘consume’ these documents to provide more accurate and comprehensive results.
In other words, semantic search will generate results that closely match the searcher’s original intentions.
