Enterprises
“Information overload” is quickly becoming part of our daily realities as we gain more and more access to the vast amounts of information now available electronically. The sheer volume of information is overwhelming. Modern enterprises tend to lose track of how much time is spent looking for necessary documents, and that time spent can be just as overwhelming.
The key is to make these information-rich assets easy to access and share through effective subject metadata. An effective taxonomy is the solution, interconnecting valuable enterprise resources.
A robust taxonomy provides semantic richness to information resources, supplementing them with conceptual associations, synonyms, descriptive notes, and more.
With a rich and reliable vocabulary, efficient indexing, website navigation, and taxonomy enabled search, corporations regain control over their critical information assets.
“Saving time has clearly been the biggest benefit. Searching for ‘storm preps’ instead of ‘boarding up,’ ‘sandbagging,’ ‘hurricane shutters,’ ‘evacuation kits’—the list goes on, probably cuts search time by as much as 50%, depending upon other unique search criteria for a specific request.”
"M.A.I. has improved the accuracy of information retrieval and eliminated duplicated efforts, thus improving productivity by processing more material
in the same amount of time.”
The Weather Channel
The Weather Channel has a library that includes hundreds of hours of weather-related video that was difficult to find when they needed it. They used Data Harmony’s M.A.I.™ to log and find video clips, thus simplifying the hardest part of their job.
“Indispensable for anyone trying to identify instructional media for teaching.”
CHOICE Magazine
For NICEM (the National Information Center for Educational Media), Access Innovations, with Data Harmony software, created more ways to find information in their rich taxonomy. Users can navigate the full taxonomy tree, autocomplete search criteria using the taxonomy, and guide the user with options to expand or target their searches.
