Short Honk: Open Semantic Search Appliance
July 17, 2015
Several people have asked me about Open Semantic Search. I sent a couple of emails to the professional identified on the DNS record as the contact point. No response yet from our inquiry emails, but this is not unusual. People are so darned busy today.
The Open Semantic Search organization is offering an open semantic search appliance. The appliance is not a box like the much loved Google Search Appliance or the Maxxcat solutions. The appliance is virtual.
The explanation of the data enriching system is located at this link. The resources required are modest and based on the information I scanned, the open semantic search appliance is a solution to many information access woes.
I will be able to search, explore, and analyze. Give the system a whirl. We will add it to our list of tasks. We assume it will present the same exciting challenges as other Lucene/Solr solutions. The addition of semantics will add a new wrinkle or two.
If you are into semantics and open source, the system may be for you.
