Zoogma Targets Buried Treasure
April 18, 2010
CMSwire recently reported that “Zoogma, An Automated Intelligence-Gathering and Analysis Platform” is attempting to track all the unstructured content lurking in the corners of every enterprise content management system. Much like a detective, it does this by detecting and deciphering clues to make the data findable. A number of companies are entering this “intelligence” sector, including Fetch Technologies and Kapow Tech. Using Natural Language Processing (NLP), Zoogma collects information from web scrapers, databases and other repositories, stores that information, analyzes it and delivers it through a web services interface. According to Alex Emmermann, general manager of Cormine Intelligent Data, “While keywords help you find what you know, Zoogma is specifically geared towards finding what you don’t know.” Zoogma reportedly can plug in to many enterprise content management systems, but specific names have not been released. Currently there is little feedback to indicate whether Zoogma works as claimed; only time will tell.
