Rule-based Taxonomies and Algorithmic Concept 
Extraction: A Tale of Two Companies
Bert Carelli, Director, Business Development, DeepDyve
Bert will talk about two companies’ radically 
different approaches to search.  His former 
company, AGIS, reinvented its business model in 
2007, redirecting all its resources into 
developing a consumer-focused web service for the 
elderly and those caring for them. He will 
describe working with Access Innovations to deal 
with the challenges of data normalization across 
different content providers and using the 
taxonomy to enrich user experience. His current 
company, DeepDyve, has taken a different path, 
using an advanced pattern-matching search 
algorithm.  Bert will discuss the pros and cons 
of each approach, as seen from a business perspective.

Streamlining Workflows with Data Harmony at the National
Transportation Library
Amanda Wilson - National Transportation Library
Amanda will discuss how the National 
Transportation Library's (NTL) uses thesauri and 
taxonomies developed and maintained in Data 
Harmony to streamline procedures. The 
Transportation Research Thesaurus workflow 
requires review and vetting by a committee whose 
members, not USDOT staff,  are located throughout 
the United States and Canada. The NTL is also 
working within USDOT on a cooperative effort to 
create taxonomies for the Federal Highway 
Administration by providing access to Data 
Harmony for development and deployment. These 
taxonomies are used to classify and search 
digital libraries, and will potentially serve as 
an enterprise taxonomy for the organization.

Medical Record Applications – Accessibility to Customer Service
Content
Sandra Nunn, MA, RHIA, CHP, Enterprise Records 
Manager, Presbyterian Healthcare Services
Chuck Klein, IT Analyst, Level V, Presyterian Healthcare Services
Hear a discussion of the development and use of a 
taxonomy to support at-your-fingertips access to 
information for the contact center service 
representatives at Presbyterian Health Plan.

Quadruple Duty: Single-Source Thesaurus/Metatags/Taxonomy/Navigation
Eileen Quam, Information Architect
Office of Technology, State of Minnesota
The State of Minnesota has just released a new 
website, License Minnesota, that brings together 
all business, professional, recreational and 
transportation license information. Eileen Quam 
shows how the thesaurus, created in Thesaurus 
Master, was leveraged to not only tag the license 
information, but also create the taxonomies and 
navigation of the License Minnesota website. She 
demonstrates the website's public face but also 
the back office applications of TM output in XML 
integrated into the SDL Tridion content management system.

Tom Reamy – Chief Knowledge Architect KAPS Group
Tom Reamy is well known speaker on the topics of 
taxonomies and their creation.
He will present thoughts on 1. Combining facets with subject taxonomies
2. Limits and uses of folksonomies in combination with Taxonomies

Wednesday - February 11, 2009  9 - 5 PM

Search Harmony – the search integration
Lamine Idjeraoui, Development Programmer, Access Innovations, Inc.
Lamine will cover the many modules of the Search 
Harmony product including  auto completion,
  more precise search suggestions from narrower 
terms, expanded  search from related terms,
  all generated from the taxonomy, as well as 
several options for the display of results such as
NAVtree, an annotated navigation tree,  for a 
versatile set of options for search implementation.

Metadata extraction – a demo of the new system
Tao Liu, Manager Programming Team, Access Innovations, Inc.
Using a technical report or a journal article the 
talk will take the user through the steps for
automatic extraction of a full bibliographic citation using Metadata extractor.

Inline XML Markup
Lamine Idjeraoui, Developer, Data Harmony, Access Innovations, Inc.
Using the example of the Mark Logic Connector  - 
Data Harmony integration, we will hear
how  MAIstro is used to provide inline tagging of 
documents.  Different presentation
  formats will be shown as well and a discussion 
on how to accomplish the integration
  will be included.

Relevance Ranking
Alice Redmond-Neal, Chief Taxonomist, Access Innovations, Inc.
Annette Grant, Manger, Production Services, Access Innovations, Inc.
Data Harmony has traditionally concentrated 
on  precision and recall based on hit, miss, and 
noise statistics.  Recent comparisons have called 
for relevance ranking.  The new relevance ranking 
system can be adjusted by weighting any field as 
well as other options.  We describe the relevance 
ranking system and show results in a head on 
comparison of M.A.I. with Autonomy and Content Analyst software.

SharePoint Connector
Tao Liu, Manager Programming Team, Access Innovations, Inc.
The new SharePoint connector includes implementation of a taxonomy,
automatic categorization, relevance ranking and 
other features for SharePoint Users.
Most of the new connector series will have some of these attributes as well

Saving money and justifications
Jay Ven Eman , CEO, Access Innovations, Inc
We have gathered a great many studies from our customers covering how much
  they have saved in direct staff time, opportunity cost, a system time etc.
We will share these scenarios with you for use as justification and support
of your continued use of the software.

Web 2.0 and Semantics
Dr. Jay Ven Eman, CEO, Access Innovations, Inc.
Did you ever wonder what the impact of Web 2.0 and social networking
  have to do with taxonomies?  How can these semantics be leveraged to gain
better use of the Web 2.0 capabilities inside and outside your organization.

The development calendar
Marjorie M.K. Hlava, President Access Innovations
What is coming up next for Data Harmony enhancements and new programs?
We will share the list to get user reactions.
