Search v Enterprise Content Management Systems Written by Joe Tong on 29 March 2012 in Market Trends Photo credit: osuarchives/ A great debate has arisen (if you aren’t already aware) between those that believe in structure, taxonomies, ontologies and organization with those that believe that search technology is good enough for us to toss everything into one big bag and let the search engines sort it out. Elaine Svenonius and her book Intellectual Foundations of Information Organization (core reading for library science students) advise us to do the hard work of creating and maintaining organizing systems so that filing and retrieval is easy. Think of the difference between early Yahoo, and Google’s search engine breakthrough. So which approach do we take in our enterprise? What happens when we introduce the social layer into our enterprise systems? Keep reading Guident’s post “Which is more important: Search or ECM systems?”
Knowledge representation Knowledge representation and reasoning (KR) is the field of artificial intelligence (AI) devoted to representing information about the world in a form that a computer system can utilize to solve complex tasks such as diagnosing a medical condition or having a dialog in a natural language. Knowledge representation incorporates findings from psychology about how humans solve problems and represent knowledge in order to design formalisms that will make complex systems easier to design and build. Knowledge representation and reasoning also incorporates findings from logic to automate various kinds of reasoning, such as the application of rules or the relations of sets and subsets. Examples of knowledge representation formalisms include semantic nets, Frames, Rules, and ontologies. Examples of automated reasoning engines include inference engines, theorem provers, and classifiers. Overview[edit] This hypothesis was not always taken as a given by researchers.

About WordNet - WordNet - About WordNet Metadata Thesauri Taxonomies Topic Maps! Making sense of it all Abstract To be faced with a document collection and not to be able to find the information you know exists somewhere within it is a problem as old as the existence of document collections. Information architects have so far applied known and well-tried tools from library science to solve this problem, and now topic maps are sailing up as another potential tool for information architects. The paper argues that topic maps go beyond the traditional solutions in the sense that it provides a framework within which they can be represented as they are, but also extended in ways which significantly improve information retrieval. Table of contents 1. The task of an information architect is to create web sites where users can actually find the information they are looking for. Topic maps are a relative newcomer to this area and bring with them the promise of better-organized web sites, compared to what is possible with existing techniques. 2. 2.1. Metadata 2.2.

039;Tagging' Lets Ordinary Users Organize the Internet Products - Structured Dynamics Structured Dynamics' growing product portfolio is geared to power the semantic enterprise. It leverages existing assets with interoperable technologies and linked data. Our products and applications enable users to discover, connect, communicate, and share knowledge in new and innovative ways. We share your vision to get information to interoperate, regardless of legacy or form. SD's flagship product is the Open Semantic Framework. OSF can integrate and manage all types of content — unstructured documents, semi-structured files, spreadsheets, and structured databases — using a variety of best-of-breed engines. Modern IT architectures are evolving to become Web-based and layered. The basic architecture of the Open Semantic Framework pivots around the OSF Web Services; there are now nearly 30 providing a wealth of functionality. This basic architecture from user interface to engines is quite simple in design: The premise of the entire stack is based on the RDF data model.
Kurt G?'s Ontological Argument Kurt Gödel is best known to mathematicians and the general public for his celebrated incompleteness theorems. Physicists also know his famous cosmological model in which time-like lines close back on themselves so that the distance past and the distant future are one and the same. What is less well known is the fact that Gödel has sketched a revised version of Anselm's traditional ontological argument for the existence of God. How does a mathematician get mixed up in the God-business? Gödel was a mystic, whose mathematical research exemplified a philosophical stance akin to the Neo-Platonics. In this respect, Gödel had as much in common with the medieval theologians and philosophers as the twentieth-century mathematicians who pioneered the theory of computation and modern computer science. Talking about proof theory often feels like discourse about God: When you talk about God, you have to discuss issues like "if God created the Universe, then who created God?"

Table of Contents 1. 2. 3. 1. 1.1. Metadata has been with us since the first librarian made a list of the items on a shelf of handwritten scrolls. A metadata record consists of a set of attributes, or elements, necessary to describe the resource in question. The linkage between a metadata record and the resource it describes may take one of two forms: elements may be contained in a record separate from the item, as in the case of the library's catalog record; orthe metadata may be embedded in the resource itself. Examples of embedded metadata that is carried along with the resource itself include the Cataloging In Publication (CIP) data printed on the verso of a book's title page; or the TEI header in an electronic text. 1.2. 1. 2. 3.

Many-to-Many Maintenir à jour l'index Solr d'un site Drupal | Whisky Echo Bravo Pour certains sites Web, il est essentiel que l'index de recherche soit mis à jour très fréquemment. C'est le cas de sites où la fréquence des ajouts ou modifications aux contenus est très grande; à la limite, avec une fréquence d'indexation trop basse, le système pourrait alors ne jamais venir à bout de la liste de contenus à indexer! Certains sites, par ailleurs, dépendent de requêtes de recherche pour alimenter directement une interface de navigation, rendant particulièrement désirable la présentation de données aussi actuelles que possibles. Nous avons été confrontés à ces enjeux récemment dans le projet d'une communauté en ligne. Le présent article décrit la manière dont nous avons résolu ce type de problème sur un site Drupal utilisant le module Apache Solr. Lancer le cron plus souvent Mais il y a un hic : L'exécution du script cron.php d'un site Drupal implique un grand nombre de tâches autres que l'indexation. Lancer le cron plus intelligemment Des alternatives Conclusion
