Scholarly Publishing
Scholarly publishers need fast, reliable access to their publications. If users cannot find the full complement of terms in a search, they are shortchanged. Full search results cannot be accomplished with a flat hierarchy or a simple taxonomy: it takes a full thesaurus.
For example, if you search for “global business challenges,” and you have that term placed solely under “global business” in your hierarchy, your search will yield few results. If additional broader terms are added, your search would reveal that “global business challenges” is a term with a home in several areas: global business, business challenges, business strategies, international laws and regulations. If synonyms are added, the searcher might look for international business challenges and still be led to the full complement of broader terms found in “global business challenges.” Adding another layer or related terms makes the search even more robust; search results might then include economics, managing global business, regional trade agreements, and more.
Access Innovations and Data Harmony software can make your authors more efficient as well. With M.A.I., machine assisted indexing can help focus your authors’ indexing terms while allowing them to add those that they consider important. Instead of summarizing their own articles, papers, or books, our automatic summarizer does the basic work: the authors become the editors, saving time and energy.

"We had the system up in two hours and in production in less than 2 weeks. We got 90% accuracy on journals out of the box"

For IEEE Xplore, Access Innovations added subject browsing to their digital library to expand users’ search options and capabilities. Indexed documents are published on IEEE’s Xplore database where subject metatags on the documents enable precision in search and retrieval by topic. Subscribers can access content by searching authors, terminology from additional taxonomies, and other metadata.
