SHAREPOINT 2013 THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO ENTERPRISE SEARCH 2 WHAt’INTRODUCTS IN THIIONS E-BOOK? There’s a lot to say about SharePoint 2013, and about search in SharePoint 2013. This e-book is focused only on search, and is meant to give you a working understanding of the new features so that you can get oriented with them and think about how you will deploy and use them. It does not try to cover everything, nor is it meant to be a hands-on guide. In this book we will be covering five key areas as they relate to search. These key areas are color coded, and represented by the blocks below. Each section contains short chapters that can be read independently or continuously. The goal is to enable readers to focus on the information they need to learn about at the moment. User Working Working Architecture, Applications & Experience with Queries with Deployment & Development & Results Content Operations Not every area of search has changed in SharePoint 2013, and those that are currently familiar with search won’t be lost at sea. For example, the deployment model, services architecture, and crawling and connector subsystems are pretty much the same as with SharePoint 2010. End users will see a dramatically different search UI, but they will be able to use it with no training (it’s quite intuitive). If you have built up a competency in search, you’ll be able to take it further in many ways — which we highlight throughout this e-book.

One of the most compelling differences with regular (web) search is that typical search engines are optimized to find only the most relevant documents; they are not optimized to find all relevant documents. The majority of commonly-used search tools are built to retrieve only the most popular hits—which simply doesn’t meet the demands of exploratory legal search. This whitepaper will lead the reader beyond the Google standard, explore the limitations and possibilities of text analysis technology and show how text analysis becomes an essential tool to help process and analyze to- day’s enormous amounts of enterprise information in a timely fashion. 3 Finding Without Knowing Exactly What to Look For In general, text analysis refers to the process of extracting interesting and non-trivial information and knowledge from unstructured text.

OpenText Magellan Text Mining enables enterprises to take control of their knowledge assets to manage and grow their business efficiently. Using thoughtfully selected text analytics techniques, such as metadata federation or crawlers to access data from multiple repositories, this tool can extract from content the meaningful pieces of information and help users connect with the content most relevant to them. This white paper focuses on how Magellan Text Mining streamlines and speeds up a key task of content analytics, the semantic annotation of content, to make documents more “findable” and usable for uses ranging from indexing and content curation to claim form processing and creating new, value-added content products. It takes on the task of tagging content with semantic metadata, traditionally done manually, and frees up workers from many hours of repetitive labor to exert more judgment in content management.

  • Method of Semantic Refinement for Enterprise Search
    Method of Semantic Refinement for Enterprise Search Alexey Pismak a, Serge Klimenkov b, Eugeny Tsopa c, Alexandr Yarkeev d, Vladimir Nikolaev e and Anton Gavrilov f ITMO University, Kronverksky pr 49, Saint-Petersburg, Russia Keywords: Semantic Networks, Translingual Data, Apache Lucene, Semantic Queries, Semantic Search, Pertinence of Search Results, Ontologies. Abstract: In this paper, we propose an approach of using the semantic refinement of the input search query for the enterprise search systems. The problem of enterprise search is actual because of the amount of processed data. Even with a good organization of documents, the process of searching for specific documents or specific data in these documents is very laborious. But even more significant problem is that the required content may have the matching meaning, but expressed with different words in the different languages, which prevents it from appearing in the search result. The proposed approach uses semantic refinement of the search query. First, the concepts are extracted from the semantic network based on translingual lexemes of the user query string, allowing to perform the search based on the senses rather than word forms. In addition, several rules are applied to the query in order to include or exclude senses which can affect the relevance and the pertinence of the search result. 1 INTRODUCTION set are closely related to each other and they usually belong to a common domain.

  • Develop an Enterprise Search Strategy April 2014 Abstract
    Develop an Enterprise Search Strategy April 2014 Abstract A decision to implement enterprise search cannot be taken lightly. Many companies end up frustrated with high priced products that failed to live up to their expectations. However, these companies typically put little effort into creating a compelling search experience especially given the potential productivity gains effective search can bring. To avoid the failed search experience, information and knowledge management professionals should follow these steps to maximize the impact of their search investments, while minimizing the risk of over-investing in the technology. Content Growth Demands Better Information Access Tools The past 10 years have seen both the volume and diversity of digital content within enterprises grow at unprecedented rates. Increased use of departmental file shares, collaboration tools, content management systems, messaging systems with file attachments, corporate blogs and wikis, and databases has turned corporate networks into a virtual mix of content where useless work-in-process, duplicate, and untraceable documents are mixed with valuable information needed to get work done. Despite IT efforts to control content through the use of content management systems, only a small percentage of content that gets created makes it into a managed repository like an enterprise portal or content management system. This results in: Hard to use, “system of record” document management repositories. Many of these systems have proven so complex to use that they have been relegated to storing specific authoritative information like business records, parts manuals, and formal methods and procedures that changes infrequently or must be retained for extended time period of time for legal reasons.

  • Image and Video Searching on the World Wide Web
    Image and Video Searching on the World Wide Web Michael J. Swain Cambridge Research Laboratory Compaq Computer Corporation One Kendall Square, Bldg. 700 Cambridge, MA 02139, USA [email protected] Abstract The proliferation of multimedia on the World Wide Web has led to the introduction of Web search engines for images, video, and audio. On the Web, multimedia is typically embedded within documents that provide a wealth of indexing information. Harsh computational constraints imposed by the economics of advertising-supported searches restrict the complexity of analysis that can be performed at query time. And users may be unwilling to do much more than type a keyword or two to input a query. Therefore, the primary sources of information for indexing multimedia documents are text cues extracted from HTML pages and multimedia document headers. Off-line analysis of the content of multimedia documents can be successfully employed in Web search engines when combined with these other information sources. Content analysis can be used to categorize and summarize multimedia, in addition to providing cues for finding similar documents. This paper was delivered as a keynote address at the Challenge of Image Retrieval ’99. It represents a personal and purposefully selective review of image and video searching on the World Wide Web. 1 Introduction The World Wide Web is full of images, video, and audio, as well as text. Search engines are starting to appear that can allow users to find such multimedia, the quantity of which is growing even faster than text on the Web. As 56 kbps (V.90) modems have become standardized and widely used, and as broadband cable modem and telephone-network based Digital Subscribe Line (DSL) services gain following in the United States and Europe, multimedia on the Web is becoming freed of its major impediment: low-bandwidth consumer Internet connectivity.
