Inxight Offers Entity Clustering of Federated Search Results in New SmartDiscovery Awareness Server 5.4


Federated Search and Alert Tool Now Includes Entity Clustering for Rapid Access to Information

KMWORLD & INTRANETS 2005, BOOTH #300, SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 16 /-- Inxight® Software, the leading provider of enterprise software solutions for information discovery, today announced Inxight SmartDiscovery(TM) Awareness Server 5.4, which allows users to query a variety of internal and external sources from one search box, and then to cluster and filter the results by the most relevant people, companies, concepts (noun phrases), places and other entities mentioned in them, speeding access to information.

For example, government analysts can access open and classified sources with a single query and then see and filter by the most relevant concepts, weapons, organizations and people mentioned in documents to pinpoint information of interest.

Brand managers can search multiple news agencies, analyst reports and internal information to see the companies, concepts and products most often mentioned in conjunction with their own company and a search term of interest.

Drug researchers can access Medline, subscription journals and other relevant websites to see and filter results by the genes, kinases and other information most commonly associated with a given search term.

"Entity clustering speeds time-to-information and reduces the time wasted in paging through thousands of so-called relevant results," said Ian Hersey, Inxight senior vice president of corporate development and strategy, and founder. "It goes beyond search, leveraging Inxight's acknowledged market leadership in the area of extraction and text analysis to deliver immediate ease-of-use and time savings in research-oriented activities."

Access the World's Information to Find Only the Information You Need

SmartDiscovery Awareness Server is preconfigured out of the box to search and track relevant data from more than 600 online and enterprise sources. It ranks this information by relevance and provides a variety of intelligent filtering and preview options, including entity, category and source clustering. Customized alerts and page tracking automatically inform users of new and updated information.

Entity extraction is accomplished when used with Inxight SmartDiscovery Analysis Server, which "reads" text and automatically detects people, companies, places, concepts (noun phrases) and many other entities out-of-the-box, without the need for complicated taxonomies, tuning or pre-defined lists. Users can also create their own list-based and pattern-based entities for use in filtering.

The system leverages existing Single Sign-On (SSO) and authentication schemes to provide secure access to subscription and other password-protected data sources. Open interfaces (APIs), including XML, SOAP and Web Services, allow for easy integration with existing or new enterprise applications. Awareness Server is scalable to support large numbers of users in real time, delivering results to users' requests in seconds.

Using SmartDiscovery Awareness Server, enterprises and government agencies can access many different sources with a single query:

o Deep Web Sources, such as patent databases, SEC filings, and industry
publications
o Public Web Sources, such as blogs, competitor's websites and online
news
o Subscription-only sources, such as PR Newswire and LexisNexis
o Enterprise sources, such as Lotus Domino and Documentum

Enterprises can also create customized, automated email alerts and brokers to new information sources rapidly, through a point-and-click interface.
