For example, you edit item names in the Type/Name column and user-defined fields in the editing area of the main document window. Tree and list view are locked together. Any items selected in tree view are automatically selected when you switch to list view, and vice versa. Any number of user-defined notes and attributes may be created. Data is held in XML files using the Apple Property List DTD and may be exported as tab-separated text or XML conformant with either the Cognatrix or Zthes 0.5 DTDs. A free helper application, CognatrixImporter, is used to import thesaurus data in some XML and other proprietary formats.

Notes	MTM is the software for multilingual thesauri building and maintenance. It has been designed as a configurable system assisting a user in creating concepts, linking them by means of a set of predefined relations, and controlling the validity of the thesaurus structure. The system has been developed on top of Micro CDS/ISIS, as a collection of programs written in ISIS/PASCAL. The current version, MTM-4, has been developed in cooperation with INFOTERM and TERMNET (Austria). The main features of the software: ·         thesaurus maintenance and support system; ·         KWOC and full tree representation and navigation tools available on-line; ·         KWIC, KWOC and full tree printouts (in an alphabetic and systematic order); ·         defining and customization of up to 100 conceptual relationship types; ·         management of facets, codes (top classification), sources, regional variants, historical notes, etc.; ·         support of the various types of authority files; ·         computer assisted merging; ·         thesauri comparison by means of windows; ·         support of the various alphabets; ·         support of linguistic and orthographic variants; ·         sorting facilities consistent with national standards; ·         variable length data handling; ·         flexibility in defining input and output forms; ·         versatility in terms of relative ease of configuring the software for the various sets of languages; ·         flexibility in defining data structures needed for a given application; ·         a possibility to exchange data with other organizations and systems through exporting and importing terms and relations. From the terminal user standpoint MTM fulfills the following criteria: ·         user-friendliness when entering, updating, deleting, checking data; ·         intelligent prompting of the end user whenever in doubt; ·         powerful validation facilities covering proper structuring of a thesaurus (e.g. maintenance of relationship isomorphism between languages); ·         features for documenting ("keeping track") the history of the thesaurus evolution; ·         availability of data protection facilities; ·         availability of self-training and demonstration facilities; ·         provision of a thesaurus publishing facilities at the professional level; ·         modularity and openness to the further development.

Notes	The Oracle text retrieval software seems to have been named TermServer3; ConText and InterMedia as it has been developed. It now appears to be bundled with version 9i of the Oracle database under the name "Oracle Text". This software includes a thesaurus management package. There is a lot of information on Oracle's Web sites, but it is difficult to determine which items are current and to obtain a comprehensive list of the thesaurus features. The most useful page is http://otn.oracle.com/products/text/index.html; the Technical white paper (.pdf format) listed there gives some information and illustrates the graphical interface to the thesaurus management system. Registration (free) is necessary to view these pages. This is a module within a major database software system, not a standalone thesaurus development package. It would allow thesaurus functions to be integrated into any information retrieval system that was being developed using Oracle. From the white paper referenced above: “Oracle Text provides specialized text indexes for traditional full text retrieval applications such as - website searching, e-business catalogs, document classification and routing applications, text warehousing, document libraries and archives. Oracle Text can filter and extract content from different document formats. It supports a large number of document formats including popular ones like the Microsoft Office file formats, the Adobe PDF family of formats, HTML and XML. Oracle Text offers the best multilingual set of features in the market - supporting search across documents in western languages (English, French, Spanish, German, etc.), Japanese, Korean, Traditional and Simplified Chinese.” Extract from suppliers' Web site, edited.

Notes	Synaptica innovation in taxonomy management and ontology software delivers key differentiators that enable clients to: ·                     reduce noisy search results caused by ambiguous language ·                     increase relevance by providing a synonym-rich indexing vocabulary ·                     support information discovery with browsable hierarchies and association links ·                     enable parametric searching and facetted navigation ·                     visualize taxonomies in a variety of textual and graphical formats Robust and scalable applications that are based upon numerous open standards that make enterprise integration fast and reliable. Different visualization tools are offered in order to navigate and edit taxonomies. Customizable and flexible with dynamically generated “audience-centric” views. Synaptica SharePoint 2010 tools are included with enterprise licenses, and integration services are available. SharePoint integration enables taxonomies being managed within Synaptica to be applied as meta-tags to content being stored in SharePoint document libraries, as well as allowing for those same taxonomies to be used for search. Synaptica Human Indexing Management System (IMS) is currently shipping its V7.3 version, packed with major tools and features. Synaptica IMS is a complementary suite of tools designed to support the human indexing of content using taxonomies stored in Synaptica. Synaptica Enterprise Taxonomy Management Software is our behind-the-firewall solution for larger organizations. Enterprise systems are available with either perpetual or subscription licenses. They are designed to support multiple editors with role-based permissions as well as compartmentalization and collaboration workspaces. They also provide access to a suite of integration tools, including database APIs and Web Services. Synaptica Express is our cloud-computing solution for individuals or small-business users. Express systems are hosted on secure servers and available as a subscription service. They are designed for a single authorized user account, providing a streamlined, basic system that allows users to be up and running with minimal training. With Express users can access the most powerful taxonomy management tools without expense of the IT infrastructure. Synaptica Ontology Publication Suite is an editorial tool designed for use by professional taxonomists. In 2011 we introduced a complementary suite of front-end publication tools that make it easy for any taxonomy or ontology to be presented to end-users. The Ontology Publishing Suite gives administrators precise control over which parts of a master ontology are exposed to end-users, as well as how they are laid out on-screen. Ontologies have many benefits over more traditional record-based presentation formats. Salient among these is the idea that 'records dead-end but graphs go on forever', recently blogged at http://www.synapticacentral.com/content/records-dead-end-graphs-go-forever. You could publish taxonomies or ontologies to the open worldwide web, or you could publish them behind the firewall for restricted access by your organization's management or other internal business users. You can get first-hand experience of Synaptica's Ontology Publishing Platform by visiting www.taxonomywarehouse.com. All of the GUI presented at this site is dynamically generated by the Synaptica Ontology Publishing Suite. Extract from suppliers' Web site, edited.

Active Classification Solutions is a trading name of the registered company This to That Pty Ltd.   Term Tree, originally released January 1999, is now a maintenance only product and no longer available for download. 121 is now the product being actively developed and we suggest you evaluate 121 in preference to Term Tree.   Written by Tony Gill. A simple free software utility for Microsoft Windows that allows term lists and basic thesauri to be displayed in a hierarchical tree. It does not provide for editing such lists, but they can be created in a word processes as simple text files with a level number at the start of each line. Individual terms or entire hierarchical paths can be easily copied to the Windows Clipboard, so that they can be pasted into other applications - for example, a collections management database. The software is supplied with a small number of example term lists and a comprehensive Help system that provides extensive information about terminology control in museums, in addition to instructions for using the software. Unfortunately under Windows XP the "copy to clipboard" function does not work unless the clipboard is empty. This seriously reduces the usefulness of this program.

Notes	“Term Tree, originally released January 1999, is now a maintenance only product and no longer available for download. 121 is now the product being actively developed and we suggest you evaluate 121 in preference to Term Tree.”   Term Tree 2000 is a Windows based thesaurus management package. The Editor component is available only in standalone form to ensure control of thesaurus database changes. Term Tree 2000 was originally designed and developed as a replacement for a 16 bit product called Hierarch. Term Tree 2000 can import existing Hierarch and MultiTes databases and import/export a defined tag format. It can export to comma or tag delimited, XML, Metabrowser meta data files and includes a feature enabling the production of static navigable web pages. The thesaurus may be exported to a Windows folder structure for use as an indexing/filing system and this includes a deployment capability producing an executable copy of this structure for distribution as required. Optional modules are available to import/export TRIM (also has live connect feature), Objective, RecFind, Hummingbird/PCDocs and Seraph record management. The suppliers can provide services to import aka, CAIRS, InMagic and other thesauri. Term Tree 2000 uses a Windows Explorer style layout which, combined with drag and drop and multiple term selection lists, makes it easy to create and manage complex hierarchically arranged lists of information. Term Tree 2000 verifies the validity of links as the thesaurus is created and automatically constructs all required reverse relationship links. Reports are available for: ·         Concatenations from top terms down ·         Term hierarchies starting from top terms ·         Term relationships ·         KWIC and KWOC ·         Categories and Classifications Reports may use the internal report engine or be sent to MS Word. The Term Relationship reports uses a template reporting process to permit the use of Word styles and advanced features to customize the reports. Access 97/2000, SQL Server 7 or Oracle 8, 9 (will also work with 10 when released) can be used as the host database. Access does not need to be installed for Term Tree 2000 to operate.
Price	Single user Editor, standalone license, $A800.00 (about 340 GBP or 590 USD) ($A880.00 including tax for purchasers in Australia). Special deals for thesaurus developers requiring a full featured viewer product to include with their thesauri. E-mail to discuss requirements. A free demonstration kit, with sample databases, is available from the suppliers. This contains a fully operational standalone version of Term Tree 2000 with limits on number of logons and number of terms.

Notes	Data Harmony Thesaurus MasterTM facilitates development and maintenance of subject-based thesauri, with the full range of thesaural relationships, and it permits importation of external taxonomies. Reciprocal relationships are validated and entered automatically. TM adheres to thesaurus construction standards (ISO 2788, ISO 5964, and NISO Z39.19) and can be set to allow polyhierarchies (Multiple Broader Terms). Terms can be designated as "accepted" or "candidate." Full search capabilities are included, searching every field of a term record or only those specified. Complete term record information is displayed simultaneously with any one of several display choices, which include hierarchy, alpha list of full term records, permuted versions, candidate terms, deleted terms, and others. Thesauri can printed as any of the display views, and can be saved as XML files or other formats. Teamed with Machine Aided IndexerTM (M.A.I.) Thesaurus Master leads to the automatic suggestion of appropriate thesaurus terms for indexing electronic documents, drawing on a rule base that grows to reflect the editor's knowledge and understanding of the subject area. Thesaurus Master and Machine Aided Indexer can also operate independently of each other, and can be integrated into other database management systems through Java APIs. Data Harmony also offers Knowledge Domains, pre-constructed thesauri and associated rule bases for a variety of different fields, such as science/technology/medicine, education, news, environment, and many more. Pricing is proportionate to the size of the domain.
Price	Single user licenses: Thesaurus Master: $3,000; Machine Aided Indexer: $5,500; TM + M.A.I. (MAIstro): $7,500   For large-scale operations involving multiple editors, enterprise-wide server licenses, renewable annually, are also available: Thesaurus Master: $25,000; Machine Aided Indexer: $45,000; TM + M.A.I.(MAIstro): $60,000; XML Intranet System (XIS, an integrated bibliographic data management system): $45,000; TM + M.A.I + XIS: $95,000   Annual Term: Thesaurus Master - $11,917; ($1,092 hosted); Machine Aided Indexer - $21,450 ($1,966 hosted); MAIstro - $28,600 ($2,622 hosted); XIS - $21,450 ($1,966 hosted)   Cloud Access: Thesaurus Master - $1,202/mo; M.A.I. - $2,163/mo.; MAIstro - $2,884

Notes	These packages and several other items of free software appear to have been created during Prof. Craven's teaching and research work. Although not polished commercial products, they are quite easy to install and use for the creation of small thesauri. Some limitations, such as showing terms in upper case only, are offset by formatting and structural options not found elsewhere. TheW, in particular, is able to accept user-defined relationships and to generate graphical displays of tree structures.

Notes	WebChoir, Inc. is an outgrowth from the Liu-Palmer collaboration, creators of the original Thesaurus Construction System. TermChoir is a hierarchical information organizing and searching tool that enables information professionals to create and search varieties of hierarchical subject categories, controlled vocabularies, and taxonomies based on either pre-defined standards or a user-defined structure. A modified and less expensive client/server version, TCS-10, also is available (an upgrade from the original Thesaurus Construction System). Find a free download of TCS-10 at http://tcs-10.software.informer.com/ TermChoir features include: ·         A fully integrated Web-based architecture that allows information and reference resources created by TermChoir to be available to information providers and seekers no matter where they may be or what computer they may be using. ·         Unique indexing enables you to index and search external databases using thesaurus or subject terms created in or imported into TermChoir. ·         Editing capabilities enable you to create relationships and links across hierarchies, to move a branch across hierarchies, to create poly-hierarchies, and to specify special sorting orders among siblings. ·         Data may be imported and exported in a variety of formats such as ASCII, XML, and MARC. The script batch input allows experienced users to build a thesaurus quickly anywhere at any time even when and where there is no Internet connection. ·         Standard reports are provided and in customized reports you can specify the data elements to be included, the ordering of the data elements, and the font and styles of the different data elements. ·         Web Thesaurus Navigator enables you to create from the thesaurus a Website with alphabetical listing, hierarchical listing, and expandable hierarchical listing. ·         Data validation guarantees data integrity. No conflicts or wrong data can be entered in the database. ·         A flexible log viewer makes it easy to keep track of all the transactions. ·         Multi-lingual support makes it possible to create thesauri in any language, while translation support enables searches entered in one language to be automatically switched to search collections in another language. ·         User based permission and privileges allow you to control what information and features are accessible to what groups across the organization. ·         An open platform allows you to use a variety of operating systems, including UNIX and NT, any Web server, including Apache, Netscape Enterprise server and IIS, and any client, including PC and Macintosh. ·         Flexible data connection capability enables you to create a thesaurus or taxonomy in most popular enterprise-level databases, including Oracle, Sybase, and Microsoft SQL Server. ViewChoir, a read-only version of TermChoir, facilitates the electronic publishing of thesauri for remote access. LinkChoir enables thesaurus producers to consolidate thesauri and indexing vocabularies with a diverse range of client information sources. LinkChoir is used to link assigned thesaurus descriptors in records to the descriptors' thesaurus entries and relationships (synonyms, used for-UFs, broader terms-BTs, related terms-RTs, etc.) in the thesauri used in indexing, allowing indexers and searchers to browse and expand concepts. They can "click" back and forth between descriptors' thesaurus entries and those descriptors assigned to records. LinkChoir allows indexers to describe information sources using terminology organized in TermChoir, but also provides them with a utility to update the descriptors that they have used previously. SeekChoir is a retrieval system that enables users to browse thesaurus descriptors and their references (broader terms, related terms, synonyms, etc.), allowing the searcher many ways to investigate and employ related and synonymous topics and concepts while searching. SeekChoir also allows seekers to search databases indexed by thesauri constructed in TermChoir or some other thesaurus builder application. SeekChoir supports vocabulary-enhanced keyword searches within database records. If LinkChoir has been employed to index database records, SeekChoir also supports a controlled vocabulary search of those records indexed with terms from the associated thesaurus. The user can link from a term embedded within a record back to its corresponding thesaurus descriptor and its references to further elaborate a search.
Price	See the suppliers' Web site at http://www.webchoir.com/pricing/pricing.html. There is a wide range of products and prices from a personal thesaurus management system called "vocPuppy" costing US$49 to US$44,999 per server for "ConceptChoir".

Notes	In addition to Active Intelligence Engine® (AIE®) powerful built-in functionality, which includes rule-based categorization, many of our customers have added the extra power of Attivio's Classification Engine to bring business efficiency and performance to higher levels. Attivio's Classification Engine automatically organizes documents in a set of categories or topics of your choice. Automated classification reduces costs and risks associated with compiling information for compliance, legal discovery or operational purposes, and bi-directional workflows boost business process automation. Key Attivio AIE information enrichment capabilities include: Linguistics built into AIE, available in 22 languages, provide sophisticated text analytics and high-speed keyword searching across all textual information. Linguistics include tokenization, stemming, lemmatization, part of speech tagging, de-compounding and many other features. Text Extraction using advanced text and document format extraction (600+ file types). Entity Extraction and Normalization. AIE analyzes incoming text-based content for entities (people, places, etc.) that should be indexed and/or extracted as additional metadata. Entity extraction can be dictionary-, pattern- or statistically-based. AIE also normalizes extracted entities to ensure data quality and consistent identification despite variances in how entities appear within source text. Key Phrase Extraction identifies unique and interesting key phrases in text, as well as entities and key concepts. Because this technology is built on a language model, no “re-training” is required to detect new topics and concepts. Optional sentiment analysis of content, both at a document level and entity level, transforms social media, e-mail, chat logs, call notes, etc. into quanti-fiable indicators of positive or negative feelings that can be used for trend analysis, charts, etc. Optional content classification automatically assigns a select category, or hierarchy of categories, per incoming document. Optional behavioral analytics add the ability to automatically recommend highly relevant content based on metadata, analysis of historical user or entity behavior, and actions taken by others. Optional ontology support adds the ability to automatically ingest your ontology and use its classes, attributes, terms, etc. when ingesting and indexing information. Supports such ontology formats as OWL, RDFS, Smartlogic, zThes and more. Attivio's Active Intelligence Engine® (AIE®) is the first unified information access technology specifically designed to be embedded in business applications. With innovative features such as indexing and retrieving all types of data, content and media, simple integration, true incremental scalability, and flexible workflow, Embedded AIE differentiates your product and enhances your users' experience and productivity.   With Embedded AIE your product can take advantage of unified information access (UIA), which extends the utility of legacy search engines by aggregating access to both structured data and unstructured content and media in one universal index. - Extracted and edited from the www site and various datasheets.

Notes	The Calais initiative seeks to help make all the world's content more accessible, interoperable and valuable via the automated generation of rich semantic metadata, the incorporation of user-defined metadata, the transportation of those metadata resources throughout the content ecosystem, and the extension of its capabilities by user-contributed components.   Our OneCalais solutions use Natural Language Processing (NLP), text analytics and data mining technologies to derive meaning from unstructured information, including news articles, blog posts, research reports and more.   How it works:   OneCalais categorizes each piece of content using both IPTC news codes and 'social tags.' (For instance, if a story compares the racing performance of Ferraris vs. Porsches, it will suggest auto racing, motorsport and sports cars.)   It then identifies and tags the people, places, companies, facts and events in content, and returns those tags in the official W3C Semantic Web specification for metadata, Resource Description Framework (RDF).   It also returns a unique document identifier that makes it easy to share content with others, as well as links to related assets in the Linking Open Data (LOD) cloud - a rapidly growing ecosystem of open data that includes Wikipedia, The CIA World Fact Book, GeoNames, BBC News, The New York Times and more.   The latter aspect of OneCalais makes Thomson Reuters one of the first media companies to publish a set of data assets for public use, providing developers with open access to information on publicly traded companies, including company descriptions, stock tickers, management teams and more.   SemanticProxy.com is part of the Calais Initiative from Thomson Reuters.

The user's manual is located at http://freemind.sourceforge.net/FreeMind%20User%20Guide%20by%20Shailaja%20Kumar%20(manual).pdf Apart from other things, this release of FreeMind features: ·                     Fully functional following of HTML links stored in the nodes, be it www links or links to local files. ·                     From very early versions, Freemind supports folding which is its essential property. ·                     Fast one-click navigation, including folding / unfolding on one click and following links on one click at the same time (you don't have to make choice between fast following of links and fast fold/unfold). You can move the map by dragging the map's background as well as using mouse wheel. ·                     Undo ·                     Smart Drag'n Drop, including the possibility to copy nodes or copy style of nodes; dragging and dropping of multiple selected nodes; dropping of texts or list of files from outside ·                     Smart copying and pasting into, including pasting of links from HTML or structuring the pasted content on the basis of the number of leading spaces in a line; pasting of lists of selected files ·                     Smart copying and pasting from, including plain text and RTF (MS Wordpad, MS Word, MS Outlook messages). ·                     Export of map to HTML, with folding (see example) ·                     Find facility, where found items are shown one by one as you do "find next", and the map is unfolded only for the current item. ·                     Possibility to use and edit long multiline nodes; even with newlines ·                     Possibility to decorate nodes with built-in icons, colors and different fonts. ·                     Low costs of risk of switching away to another mind mapping tool, because FreeMind stores maps in XML format. If you have a lot of maps created by FreeMind and you want to switch to another program, writing a conversion program should be easy, especially if that program features Visual Basic scripting facility. Christoph Rissner describes in his article at IICM site his implementation of data exchange between FreeMind and MindManager. ·                     File mode enables you to browse the files on your computer, seeing the folder structure as mind map. ·                     See more details in Freemind development tree Weak spots include: ·                     The support of pictures in nodes is in preliminary stage. When you want to carry a map around with you, you have to take care that you take the image files with you. ·                     FreeMind is basically one user application. Although users can in principle work on the same map, there is only preliminary locking mechanism to prevent conflicts, at the time, switched off by default. ·                     In rare cases, following of HTML links in the web browser does not work on some computers; the same holds for opening local files. ·                     Limited support for fancy graphics. - Extracted and edited from the www site and User's Guide.

It enables SQL application programs (SQL API) to call Associations discovery, Clustering, Classification, and Transform Regression operations to develop analytic models based on data accessed by DB2 Universal Database(TM) Version 8.2 or Version 8 SQL. Using the SQL API, you can build Associations, Distribution-based Clustering, Tree Classification, and Transform Regression PMML models that are stored in DB2 tables. They can be visualized by Intelligent Miner Visualization or scored byIntelligent Miner Scoring. DB2 Intelligent Miner Scoring Intelligent Miner Scoring provides scoring technology as DB2 extenders. It enables application programs to apply Predictive Model Markup Language (PMML) models to large databases, subsets of databases, or single rows or cases. Application programs use the SQL API, which consists of user-defined functions (UDFs) and user-defined methods (UDMs), to perform the scoring operation. The PMML models might have been created by one of the Intelligent Miner products or by other applications and tools that support PMML models. Note: Mining models that are applied by the SQL API of Intelligent Miner Scoring must be contained in database tables. Intelligent Miner Scoring includes Intelligent Miner Scoring Java Beans, which enables you to score a single data record in a Java(TM) application given a PMML model. This can be used to integrate scoring in e-business applications, for example, for real-time scoring in customer relationship management (CRM) systems.

Notes	Capture, Process, Route, Link The iKAN solution can be adapted to support most any environment. Based on a Capture – Process – Route formula, iKAN offers either an end-to-end capability or select modules to suit customized requirements. In addition, iKAN Link puts the full power of the Virtual Document Center at your fingertips. With Link, you can perform many of the steps in the Capture – Process – Route flow from most any business application currently in use. The Process function is where all of the automation functions are performed on a document based on its pre-determined profile. This is done on a server using the iKAN Virtual Document Center server software, either in the Cloud or on your servers. By adhering to standardized rules, corporate governance is enforced and filing errors are minimized. Documents are processed the same way every time, automatically. New processes can also be defined and added to the structure as business requirements evolve. The Route function of the iKAN Virtual Document Center is the step whereby documents are moved either to an intermediary or external system for additional steps to be performed, or to a final storage location to be managed. The route logic is built into the iKAN Virtual Document Center, so the process is automatic. If no existing document repository exists in the organization, the iKAN Virtual Document Center includes the full capability to store and manage the processed documents. Users only have to log into the Virtual Document Center in order to search or browse for their documents, print or e-mail documents, etc. Documents are available for check out-check in, and the system has full security, audit trail and version control capabilities. The iKAN Virtual Document Center also integrates with leading document storage providers, both in the Cloud and to on-premise systems. These solutions include Box, Microsoft SharePoint, IBM FileNet, and others. iKAN’s Process capabilities are organized around several key functions: ·                     Image/Document Quality – Performing cleanup functions on documents to ensure optimal readability and size. ·                     Document Identification – Employing techniques such as indexing, processing barcodes or performing lookups to find document properties. ·                     Document Lifecycle - Moving documents through their life cycle, from active to archive, and finally to purge in accordance with their defined lifecycle. ·                     Third Party Integration Tools – Using complimentary, third party software tools that have been integrate by iKAN into the Virtual Document Center solution. Prominent among these are optical character recognition (OCR) from ABBYY Software and digital signature capability from EcoSign Corporation. Adapters: Index Adapter – Provides the interface and technique for indexing a document so it can be retrieved using keywords. Source Data Lookup Adapter – Looks up a given data value in another system in order to obtain associated metadata to complete an image index. ABBYY OCR Adapter – Integration of OCR technology for full text index extraction, built around the ABBYY OCR technology. Digital Signature Adapter – Ability to apply a digital signature to a document. OCR Adapter – Ability to convert scanned images into raw text data which can be stored in PDF document format Active Directory Sync Adapter – Allows users to inherit the same login ID and password as their Active Directory credentials. Archive Adapter – Allows an administrator to create a separate list of documents, usually by date, for archive purposes. Purge Adapter – Allows an administrator to create a list of documents that are eligible for purge (complete removal/deletion) from system, usually by date and document type. iKAN Link is a tool that gives users a simple, direct means for finding and displaying images in their system from any available application. You can perform basic functions such as scanning a document, looking up a document, or printing a barcode label, all without having to leave the native application in use. This process saves time and simplifies work, all without custom programming or expensive setup. The key advantage to Link is that users don’t have to log into the iKAN Virtual Document Center or other application where the image is physically stored. Link acts as a front end, allowing you to interact with the document storage layer. This means you don’t waste time loading and exiting applications whenever you need to search for or scan a document. This makes using the system and finding documents more intuitive for users, and greatly reduces start up and training time. The iKAN Virtual Document Center is a processing engine that takes in documents from a capture process, acts upon them based on a set of predetermined rules, and routes them to a specified destination. By handling this task centrally, the organization enforces the process rules and greatly improves efficiency. - Extracted and edited from the www site.

Notes	Organizations are slowly waking up to the enormous value that enterprise social knowledge networking can unlock. With the Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 and 2013 Collaborative Knowledge Management (CKM) becomes an approach to enable organizational intelligence in the enterprise. Taxonomy is the key: Managed Metadata can drive navigation, discovery and search, relation, and re-usability of content. Managed Metadata provides a common vocabulary for corporate language and can connect people to social networks. While Microsoft has provided a state of the art API-based backend solution for knowledge management and search with SharePoint, the Layer2 Knowledge Management Suite for SharePoint is focused on term set life-cycle management, content classification, knowledge browsing, navigation and search-driven content discovery.   - Extracted and edited from the www site.

Notes	·                     Lexaurus: www.vocman.com For edit tools and web based vocabulary bank see http://public.lexaurus.net/ ·                     Lexaurus Bank version 5 was released in December 2011. It is a powerful terminology management system for publishing term or concept based vocabularies, concept schemes, data definitions, taxonomies and thesauri. It facilitates the import, export and cross-mapping of terminology structures in a variety of formats currently supporting SKOS, VDEX (token and nested), XVD, ESD Toolkit, Zthes,i2b2 (ontology and concept) and Snomed. Lexaurus Bank can also synchronise with one or more Lexaurus Editors to provide collaborative editing of terminology information, including multiple users working on the same structure. It is completely multilingual both in terms of the data it contains and the user interface for the application. Unlike most terminology systems currently available, Lexaurus Bank maintains a full and complete history of all terms, concepts and terminology structures. This is not simply an audit trail, but provides API level access to every terminology structure at every stage in its development, together with when and who made each change. This information is available as both a complete terminology structure for each change, or as a delta which just exposes the differences between any 2 revisions (not just the last changes). ·                     Lexaurus Bank has been tested to a level of 10 million terms or concepts. ·                     Vocabulary Management Group Ltd ·                     Knowledge Integration Ltd (K-Int) and Schemeta Ltd are pleased to announce that K-Int has taken full control of Vocabulary Management Group Ltd (Vocman) after acquiring the shares previously held by Schemeta. The full range of Vocman products and services will be integrated into K-Int's existing structure. Mike Collett of Schemeta will remain closely involved with the Lexaurus product set as an integral part of the K-Int team. ·                     Merging the development and support of Lexaurus with K-Int's existing activities provides an excellent opportunity to exploit synergies with K-Int products such as Open Data Aggregator (ODA) and Collections Information Integration Middleware (CIIM).  It will also allow K-Int to leverage R&D funding already secured to accelerate the integration of the products. ·                     There are no immediate plans to change Lexaurus licensing and pricing arrangements. Continuity of service for existing customers is guaranteed as all Vocman's support and hosting was already managed by K-Int on a subcontractor basis. All existing Vocman e-mail addresses will continue to function and all managed services will continue to be hosted on the Lexaurus.net domain. The only difference that customer should notice is that their next invoice (be that for renewal of a managed service, support, software or services) will come from K-Int rather than Vocman.

Notes	MarkLogic Search:   Access all your data and content without having to define searches up front. Flexibly adapt as data changes and new data is added. Search on information in real-time with zero search indexing latency. Integrated search features including full language support and geospatial search. Remove infrastructure complexity with a single infrastructure for multiple applications. Eliminate the complexity of synchronizing search engines to database with search as part of the Enterprise NoSQL database. Provide interactive, real-time visualization interfaces. Comprehensive Full-text Query To ensure even the largest organizations can find exactly what they’re looking for,MarkLogic provides search and retrieval of documents or parts of documents with enterprise-class, full-text query. The capabilities include word and phrase, stemming, Boolean, wildcards, case sensitivity, punctuation sensitivity, diacritic sensitivity, and weighting. Results That Are Relevant: Document-level relevance boosting to support “page ranking” ensures the most relevant results. Options for relevance algorithms include term frequency/inverse document frequency, term frequency only, and simple term match. Results can be ordered by relevance or content metadata (in string, numerical, or date/time formats). Proximity boosting ensures that terms found close to each other are scored higher than terms found farther apart. Highlighted Matches For Ease: Scanning for search terms in document results is no longer necessary because text snippets that match the query are highlighted for ease of discovery. This is typically used for results lists, but also can be used as a search and replace function. Global Language Support: Basic language support for more than 200 languages is included in MarkLogic. Advanced language support includes stemming, tokenization, and collation rules for 14 languages to enable more precise, language-specific search. Optimized Search Development: Developers can take advantage of the Search API that supports popular functionality such as automatic query text parsing, constrained, faceted navigation, snippeting, and search term completion. Lexicon, Custom Dictionary, and Thesaurus: Easily build lexicons for all words in the database, support custom dictionaries that affect stemming behavior, customize a thesaurus to suggest synonyms by user or user group, and search on distinctive terms to ensure you get the best results. Range Queries For Speed: Ensure high-speed lookups of values in elements using range indexes. This enables fast range querying and popular search functionality such as faceted navigation and term auto-suggestion. Search Security: Search results will return only the records that end-users are authorized to see. If permissions are updated on documents, those updates are reflected automatically and immediately in the indexes and in subsequent searches. Location Awareness in Content: In many industries, location data is an important aspect of information search. By combining geographic data and content such as text, imagery, and video, users can more easily analyze, exploit or assimilate information. By narrowing the scope, this combined analysis leads to greater accuracy, new knowledge, and better decisions. Geographic Boundaries to Filter Data: Users may need to know which regions are completely within the boundaries of a specified containment region. Polygon intersection and region intersection filters let users identify which geographic areas touch, or intersect another specified area. The containment region is often a polygon specified by a series of vertices, but also can be a circle or a box. Be the First to Know With Alerts: In order to ensure the right people are alerted to critical information in real-time, the real-time alerting framework for efficient reverse queries applies a large set of saved queries to incoming documents in an optimized way. Alerting enables capabilities such as instant delivery of newly discovered information and automatic categorization. As the only Enterprise NoSQL database with built-in search, MarkLogic enables organizations to create search and discovery applications that access all their data and content – giving users the insight and information they need.

Notes	Ontopia is an open source suite of tools for building applications based on Topic Maps, providing features like an ontology designer, an instance data editor, a full-featured query language, web service access points, database storage, etc.   Automatic classification   The automatic classification module can process textual content in many different formats to extract the keywords which identify what the content is about. This can be used to automatically classify content into a topic map, or to provide suggestions for classification to users so that they can fine-tune the classification.   The input to the module is a file in some format. The module will extract the textual content from the file and process it to find the appropriate keywords for the content, which can then be used to classify the content. Each extracted keyword has an associated score (a number between 0 and 1), which indicates how relevant the keyword is to the content.   For example, processing the Metadata? Thesauri? Taxonomies? Topic Maps! paper using the module produces the following output: ·                     topic maps, 1.0 ·                     Dublin Core metadata, 0.98 ·                     subject-based classification, 0.41 ·                     faceted classification, 0.34 ·                     metadata, 0.25 ·                     controlled vocabulary, 0.21 This could be used to automatically create topics for each keyword that receives a score higher than, say, 0.15, and automatically associate these topics with the classified content, thus automatically building a topic map.   The module supports formats like XML, HTML, PDF, Microsoft Word (binary and OOXML), Microsoft Powerpoint (binary and OOXML), and support for more formats can be added easily. It also supports English and Norwegian, but, again, support for more languages can be plugged in easily.   Current standards   ISO 13250-2: Topic Maps Data Model (TMDM) The standard data model for Topic Maps, which defines the basic concepts of Topic Maps and their structure. This is the key Topic Maps standard.   ISO 13250-3: XTM 2.0 The current standard XML syntax for Topic Maps, defined in terms of the TMDM. This syntax is implemented by Ontopia and many other Topic Maps tools.   Other ISO Standards A site showing the status of the current work on the different ISO standards related to Topic Maps.

Notes	Protégé is a free, open source ontology editor and knowledge-base framework. The Protégé platform supports modeling ontologies via a web client or a desktop client. Protégé ontologies can be developed in a variety of formats including OWL, RDF(S), and XML Schema.Protégé is based on Java, is extensible, and provides a plug-and-play environment that makes it a flexible base for rapid prototyping and application development.   Protégé is a free, open-source platform that provides a growing user community with a suite of tools to construct domain models and knowledge-based applications with ontologies. At its core, Protégé implements a rich set of knowledge-modeling structures and actions that support the creation, visualization, and manipulation of ontologies in various representation formats. Protégé can be customized to provide domain-friendly support for creating knowledge models and entering data. Further, Protégé can be extended by way of a plug-in architecture and a Java-based Application Programming Interface (API) for building knowledge-based tools and applications. An ontology describes the concepts and relationships that are important in a particular domain, providing a vocabulary for that domain as well as a computerized specification of the meaning of terms used in the vocabulary. Ontologies range from taxonomies and classifications, database schemas, to fully axiomatized theories. In recent years, ontologies have been adopted in many business and scientific communities as a way to share, reuse and process domain knowledge. Ontologies are now central to many applications such as scientific knowledge portals, information management and integration systems, electronic commerce, and semantic web services. The Protégé platform supports two main ways of modeling ontologies: The Protégé-Frames editor enables users to build and populate ontologies that are frame-based, in accordance with the Open Knowledge Base Connectivity protocol (OKBC). In this model, an ontology consists of a set of classes organized in a subsumption hierarchy to represent a domain's salient concepts, a set of slots associated to classes to describe their properties and relationships, and a set of instances of those classes - individual exemplars of the concepts that hold specific values for their properties.   The Protégé-OWL editor enables users to build ontologies for the Semantic Web, in particular in the W3C's Web Ontology Language (OWL). "An OWL ontology may include descriptions of classes, properties and their instances. Given such an ontology, the OWL formal semantics specifies how to derive its logical consequences, i.e. facts not literally present in the ontology, but entailed by the semantics. These entailments may be based on a single document or multiple distributed documents that have been combined using defined OWL mechanisms" (see the OWL Web Ontology Language Guide).   - Edited from the www site.

Notes	Sentences Version 4 is a web-enabled, multi-user data discovery, federation and visualization environment for complex databases. Sentences Version 4 has been comprehensively retooled for its new role. Sentences' internal architecture is based on Lazysoft's Associative Model of Data.   Real-time data discovery, federation and visualization in multiple databases without data warehousing or BI tools   Data as you've never seen it before:   Instant 360° view of any data item - customer, product, supplier, account, person, policy, asset, date, price, value, name etc - showing both inward and outward references. Complex structures such as Customer, Product or Employee that comprise multiple tables are re-integrated as single business entities.   Combine multiple databases using Sentences' unique associative capabilities: supertypes, subsets, equivalence and precedence. Aggregate and view your federated data on-line in real time, or move it off-line to Sentences' own associative data store.   Powerful associative query capabilities for queries with drag-and-drop editor. Data may be augmented locally to support 'what if' scenarios. Data profiling and cleansing capabilities using its own query language with powerful declarative business rules.   Sentences infers an associative schema for each database's relational schema using an automated mapping process. Mappings are persistent and are updated as the relational schema changes. Sentences works at a higher level of abstraction than the SQL databases on which it operates, discovering relationships between data items that are not otherwise evident.   Lazysoft, pioneer of alternative database architecture the Associative Model of Data, today announces the availability of Sentences Version 4.0, a web-enabled, multi-user data discovery, federation and visualisation environment for complex databases. Sentences Version 4 has been comprehensively retooled for its new role in data discovery and federation, with an emphasis on its ability to retrieve, correlate and present data from multiple data sources simultaneously.   Additionally, Sentences 4.0 has gained a fine-grained user authority model, declarative definition and enforcement of business rules, and major performance and ease-of-use enhancements.   Extracted and edited from the www site.

Notes	TopBraid Enterprise Vocabulary Net (TopBraid EVN) is a web-based solution for simplified development and management of interconnected controlled vocabularies. It supports business stakeholders who need to collaborate on defining and linking enterprise vocabularies, taxonomies, thesauri and ontologies used for information integration, customization and search.   Key Features of TopBraid EVN ·         Flexible Data Model Ability to define and use any number of custom attributes and relationships ·         Vocabulary Editing Cloning, merging, repositioning and re-numbering of concepts; global edit operations for selected groups of concepts ·         Search Simple lookups and advanced search, tree and list views, visual graph exploration and query ·         SKOS Built-in support for all standard SKOS attributes and hierarchical, associative and equivalency relationships ·         Automatic processing Ability to create custom validation rules and automated script processing via SPARQL Rules and SPARQLMotion; SKOS and OWL rules and constraints ready to use out of the box ·         Import/Export Import/Export from RDBMs, RSS feeds, spreadsheets, XML, SPARQL endpoints, RDF and OWL ·         Audit Trails Every change is logged and time stamped, change history can be searched, changes can be rolled back if desired ·         Unlimited Work-in-Progress Copies Virtual work-in-progress copies of vocabularies allow parallel development of versions and enable controlled publishing, review and approval workflow ·         Impact Analysis Ability to query and create longitudinal analysis on any aspect of the vocabularies ·         Role-based Access Control Ability to define view-only, edit and manage roles for each vocabulary and for the individual working versions of a vocabulary ·         Reporting Built-in reports for hierarchy exports, spell checking, constraint violations and graph statistics Advanced query-building tools and reporting through graphical interfaces. ·         Merging RDF standard universal identifiers provide easy “hooks” for merging vocabularies ·         Systems Integration Integrate with existing enterprise or vocabulary management systems via Web Services interfaces and APIs ·         Rich Web Interface Types (classes), properties and instances can be defined in an intuitive web-based system that supports drag and drop, autocompletion and rich text editing ·         Customizability On-the-fly creation of customized user interfaces that can meet the needs of each user group ·         Open Architecture and Standards External data need not be transformed into a proprietary schema. TopBraid EVN offers native support for RDF, OWL and SPARQL ·         Enterprise-ready Scalable and robust architecture with DBMS deployment (choice of relational and RDF databases) with LDAP integration for access control   Benefits of Semantic Web Technology Capabilities for Vocabulary Management   Enterprise Vocabulary Management has emerged as an essential facet in effective business information management. While creating centralized reference vocabulary and taxonomy repositories is one common approach, often the governance model is complex and unsustainable. To support the business needs of complex, distributed enterprises, Enterprise Vocabulary Management practices and enabling technology/tools are evolving from Reference-only (text, models) to Interoperable (standards based) to Executable (federated, model-based, semantic-enabled). Semantic web technology makes it easier to aggregate and analyze vocabularies through its capabilities for expressing, querying and federating information. The Semantic Web standards Resource Description Format (RDF) and RDF Schema provide the infrastructure for creating a web of information, whether on the public internet or within enterprise intranets. Like the familiar World Wide Web, the Semantic Web is easily extensible, breaking out of information silos once and for all, as vocabularies are available as resources on the web for anyone to reference and use. Each vocabulary element has a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) which uniquely identifies it as a web resource. The Semantic Web standard Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) provides an extensible language for describing structured terminology systems like taxonomies and thesauri. Based on RDF, it inherits the power of flexibility and distribution. SKOS extends RDF with specific notions of linkage between structured vocabularies, making it particularly useful for enterprise vocabulary management. The Semantic Web standard query language SPARQL provides much more than a query facility. In the context of SPARQLMotion and SPIN, it provides a powerful mechanism for modeling complex relationships between terminology. Connections that previously had to be accomplished with custom software can now be described in a standard, declarative way.   TopBraid Composer is the world’s most powerful modeling environment and an IDE for building semantic applications. Fully compliant with W3C standards, Composer offers complete support for developing, managing and testing configurations of ontologies and linked data. As part of TopBraid Suite, Composer provides a comprehensive IDE for developing semantic solutions that can integrate disparate applications and data sources. Implemented as an Eclipse plug-in, Composer serves as a development environment for all the applications delivered using TopBraid Live™. Composer is used to develop ontology models, configure data source integration, and create semantic web services and user interfaces. - Extracted and edited from the www site.
