Text Mining News & Articles

Semantic search has been the new black in the high fashion of content management and the industries around it. Nstein (news, site), a provider of Web CMS, DAM and text-mining technologies, just released a new product -- which they say is more flexible, intuitive and extensible than Google Search Appliance -- called Semantic Site Search, or the “new kind of site search,” as the vendor humbly refers to it.

We had a chance to get an early demo and talk to Eric Williams, Nstein’s product manager, who told us all about his "little baby" under the code-name 3S. It may be a newborn, but it comes with a strong featureset of multi-index federated search, embedded Text Mining Engine, semantic widgets and a more flexible presentation layer.

Swedish content management provider Polopoly (news, site) has announced that it has integrated U.S. digital media giant’s Text Mining engine into Polopoly CMS 9.13.

Hardly a surprise given that Atex bought Polopoly last year with the specific intention of increasing its revenue directly from digital media (as opposed to software) to 50% of entire revenues by 2011.

With Polopoly v9.13 they may well meet that target, as the text mining solution should prove attractive to publishers with a lot of digital content lying around that could be making money for them if they could only get it organized.

With the planned Fall 2009 release of a feature-rich up-grade to its Text Mining Engine (TME), Nstein Technologies (news, site) is taking semantic metadata firmly into the world of Web 3.0.

For anyone that is not aware already, Nstein is a global specialist provider of solutions in the online media and web publishing world. TME 5.0, the company says, will include enhancements to linguistic abilities, Web 3.0 compliance and a number of new tools that will give users greater control over semantic metadata.

To enable users of their digital publishing solution the ability to conduct faster, more accurate image searches, enterprise content management provider, Nstein (news, site), will integrate the Imprezzeo image-based search engine with its Text Mining and search products.

KMWorld magazine has selected Nstein Technologies’ Web Content Management (WCM) as a “KMWorld Trend-Setting Product of 2008”. Nstein’s WCM product joins another Nstein creation, Text Mining Engine (TME), in earning the honor, with TME being named a trend-setting product for the past few years.

WCM is a content management system that has many familiar and useful features including content editing workflows, content tagging, and metadata management. WCM is engineered by Nstein to make it possible for content creators and editors to manage content without necessarily having to involve technical staff. WCM is build on web standards and utilizes declarative XML to allow its users to customize the site’s content layout and look/feel.

WCM 4, Nstein’s latest version, features a semantic assistant to help tie content together to create a sticky customer experience. Also, the backoffice of the product has been re-designed to make publishing content easy and quick. The editorial dashboard is customizable, allowing site administrators to tailor the content management user interface to their staff’s needs.

KMWorld selected the list 2008 trend-setting products by evaluating product’s ability to deliver astounding customer value.

Nstein, provider of digital publishing solutions for media and publishing companies has officially released the latest version of their Web Content Management System. Version 4 boasts a number of editorial enhancements not the least of which is full integration with the Nstein TME — text mining engine and DAM — Digital Asset Management System.

Every Content Management Solution Provider seeks to find and market what makes them unique. For Nstein, it’s a little about their ability to produce a multi-lingual content management solution for the digital publishing industry. But that’s not what makes them unique — they have a “secret sauce”. And it may just be the thing that pushes them ahead of an ever growing and growling pack.
