Enterprise Graph Search Changes the Retrieval Game
June 27, 2014
New models of information retrieval are emerging, taking the field away from the traditional keyword format. Facebook made quite a stir with its implementation of graph search, and now experts feel it may have implications for the enterprise. Read more in the Synata article, “Enterprise Graph Search: A Game Changer in Information Retrieval.”
The article begins:
“In Facebook Graph Search, results are based on both the content of the user and their friends’ profiles and the relationships between the user and their friends. They’re personalized for the individual user. But what does this have to do with the enterprise? . . . Because of today’s massively scalable infrastructure platforms, API ubiquity, and graph analysis capabilities, the rapid gains in query understanding and information retrieval techniques are about to have resounding implications for enterprise search.”
The graph model allows for extreme relevance, bringing all the floating connections together in a bigger picture, the graph. And while theorists are saying that this type of technology has huge implications, implementation has yet to be realized. Keep an eye out for the breakthrough of graph search. When it hits SharePoint it will have made the mainstream.
