Semantic Search Retooled at Yahoo
June 25, 2010
Yahoo!’s Developer Network blog published a brief interview with Peter Mika, a wizard from Yahoo’s Research Division. The topic is semantic search, also the topic of a speech he delivered on the 19th, called “The future face of Search is Semantic for Facebook, Google, and Yahoo!”. But I wonder about the “growing interest” mentioned and how the short article frames semantic search as something that’s just now happening (“Semantic Search will also bring entirely new functionality.”) The future is already here; semantic search and developing metadata to use in search is fairly old hat. The article specifically mentions Sindice, a semantic search engine we noted in 2008. While I’m sure there’s good basic info on semantic search to be had, I’m more inclined to see this release as a pitch for Yahoo!’s SearchMonkey. In fact, how do these different semantic efforts fit together? Where’s the intersection with the Bing?
