Watch Free Recorded Webinar About How Smartlogic Semaphore Integrates With Lucene/Solr to Enhance Enterprise Search Results.

Smartlogic, the makers of Semaphore, the open semantic platform, have made available online their recent webinar 'Cutting Search Chaos' where they discuss how combining Semaphore with Apache Lucene/Solr can deliver the highest quality enterprise search experience and provide the most compelling semantic search applications. With presentations from Smartlogic and Lucid Imagination.

The recent 'Cutting Search Chaos' webinar, a co-production between Smartlogic and Lucid Imagination, the commercial entity for Lucene/Solr, discusses how the integration of Smartlogic Semaphore with Lucene/Solr can help businesses overcome the challenges inherent in enterprise search and dramatically enhance the user experience of enterprise search by adding semantic abilities such as using ontologies to help users find the relevant information that they need quickly and easily.

Presenting in the webinar are Toby Conrad, Senior Consultant for Smartlogic, Lucid Imagination's Senior Search Architect, Tom Hill, with an introduction from Lucid's David Fishman. The free recorded webinar is now available to watch online here: http://www.smartlogic.com/knowledge-zone/webinars/reducing-search-chaos-integrating-lucenesolr-search-with-smartlogic-for-faster-findability

Smartlogic (http://www.smartlogic.com) are the developers of the open semantic platform, Semaphore, that offers the services of advanced and automated ontology management, rules-based content classification and search enhancement to create a powerful semantic search capability that results in enhanced Findability and a better search experience for users.

David Fishman opens the discussion with some background information on Lucid Imagination's approach to enterprise search, how this approach deals with the problems faced by users of enterprise commercial search outside of the internet, and how Lucid effectively harnesses the innovative capabilities of the open source community.

Tom Hill goes on to explain how to implement this approach with Lucene/Solr, describing how it can enhance enterprise search results by delivering advanced metadata search, faceted navigation and augmented content extraction.

Smartlogic's Toby Conrad opens by identifying some of the biggest challenges faced by search projects and talking about the kinds of user experience that might address these problems.

He discusses typical search-related issues such as "missing" or "too many" results produced by the ambiguous nature of language; the neglect of in-house optimisation within enterprise domains and the subsequent need for the rich search and navigation interface that is provided by Semaphore.

Specifically designed to meet these challenges, Semaphore offers the services of advanced and automated ontology management, rules-based content classification and search enhancement to create a hierarchical faceted search out of previously unstructured content. As Semaphore relies on automating the laborious tasks - such as building ontologies and classifying content - it delivers the functionality without the headache.

Together the speakers show how Solr and Semaphore, as a combined platform, can, in Toby Conrad's words, "supercharge search applications" by delivering the most compelling enterprise search results at a fraction of the normal cost. Semaphore provides open APIs for all its capabilities and is already fully integrated with Lucene/Solr so it is quick and easy to deploy.
