Watch Free Recorded Webinar About Improving Search in FAST ESP and Sharepoint Using Smartlogic Semaphore

Open semantic search platform providers, Smartlogic, have made publicly available their recent webinar about improving the search capabilities of Microsoft Sharepoint and FAST ESP, with presentations from Smartlogic, Microsoft and Earley & Associates.

The recent webinar held in conjunction with Smartlogic, Microsoft and Earley & Associates has now been made publicly available to help businesses improve the search capabilities in Microsoft Sharepoint and FAST ESP.

Smartlogic (http://www.smartlogic.com) are the developers of open semantic platform, Semaphore, which uses advanced automatic content classification and ontology management to enhance the search and navigation experience in Sharepoint and FAST ESP.

Presenting in the webinar are Toby Conrad from Smartlogic, Nate Treolar Microsoft Search Evangelist and Seth Earley from Early & Associates, which you can listen to at http://www.smartlogic.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=138

Treloar explains how meta-data is essential to building powerful search applications that deliver dramatic improvements in business productivity.

Microsoft Gold Partner, Smartlogic, go on to explain how Semaphore can generate this meta-data automatically, accurately and consistently with SharePoint, Fast and other platforms. This takes the burden away from users or migration projects whilst delivering the best possible user experience for searching, filtering and navigating an organisation’s wealth of content.

Picking up on Nate’s themes, Seth Earley then concludes by explaining how technologies like Semaphore, Fast and SharePoint can be combined to deliver ‘conversational search’ – the quickest way to get clients and employees exactly the information they need.

They discuss the messy, ambiguous nature of searching, and how refinements are often needed to original search queries to extract the context of the user’s search. With Semaphore, the contextualization of the search query is formed automatically from content classification and meta tagging of Sharepoint or FAST ESP’s documents, and delivered to the user in a simple, effective way to help them find the right information.

As well as basic meta data for documents, Semaphore enables entity extraction, for example, a person’s name, or other instances of a given phrase within a document, to enable refinement of the search – delivering clearer, more defined results from ambiguous searches.
