Smartlogic Semaphore

Smartlogic Semaphore is an...

Open Semantic Platform

It uniquely captures your topics into an ontology and surrounds them with language and context.

Semaphore makes your user's interaction with search and content systems exceptional by delivering the most:-

• accurate search results
• contextual navigation
• precise, automated classification

An ontology-driven solution that improves findability

See our demonstration now

Putting semantic models, such as taxonomies and ontologies, to work alongside your existing search engine means that the search navigation experience is one where the user is surrounded with both relevant and contextual information - we call this concept 'findability'.

We think of Semaphore as turning a search engine into a find engine - it helps users locate information as well as be guided around a subject.

More on what we do and why it works?

Better search-navigation experience – whatever the search engine

Semaphore enables search-navigation techniques like faceted navigation, disambiguation, and broader-than and narrower-than searches. Semaphore will also give you old fashioned I-didn’t-know-that moments when you get interesting results that you weren’t expecting. In other words, it gives you access to related information relevant to the subject you are searching.

You can combine Semaphore with your chosen search engine – we get great results with Google Search Appliance, Microsoft Sharepoint Server 2007 and FAST ESP.

Accurate and consistently applied metadata and classification

Semaphore is able to classify information automatically. Semaphore uses taxonomies and ontologies as the basis for determining what classification to assign to a piece of information. Semaphore delivers really accurate classification using automatically created classification rules derived from these models.

Because the classification method is model driven, so corporate classification standards can be accurately applied, automatically, and the results are auditable, repeatable and reliable.

Semaphore gives you real control of your content

• Deploy a taxonomy using our taxonomy-management tools.
• Add metadata to content in a content management system; use metadata to drive federated, or enterprise search.
• ‘Reveal’ content with clever search-navigation techniques (see our interactive demo).
• Route or forward content (e.g. helping a fund-management firm make sure that only relevant content is routed to fund managers).
