Metadata: To the Roots!
February 15, 2012
According to the Computer Weekly article “Diving Deeper than Metadata, Down to “Contextual “ Metadata” content management isn’t what it used to be. Social business tools have now entered the corporate world and they are a crucial part of content management. The article asserts:
“Systems of record themselves now face the additional challenge of not only tracking a firm’s own processes, but also accommodating for what Forrester Research defines as “out of process” applications from third parties or those that only happen infrequently.”
This new form of analytics is referred to as contextual analytics. IBM uses Lucene Search in its IBM Content Analytics program which uses “annotators” to help define the content management metatags. “Content analytics solutions can understand the meaning and context of human language and rapidly process information to improve knowledge-driven search and surface new insights from your enterprise content.”
Looks like IBM is focused on digging deep and getting to the root of the problem. Digging is good but the scattering of service after service, solution after solution, strikes me as a trifle untidy.
