In response to popular demand, we are expanding our program by adding a morning session with additional content for software engineers and project managers. Technical staff from each company will conduct the following engineering tutorials:
Basis Technology will present a technical overview of the Rosette linguistics platform, including key components powering enterprise search and next-generation text analytic applications: Rosette Language Identifier, Rosette Base Linguistics, Rosette Entity Extractor, and Rosette Name Indexer.
Mark Logic will present a technical overview of MarkLogic Server 4.0, an XML content platform for storing, processing, and delivering XML. Topics to be covered will include full-text and XML search, XQuery support, analytics, XML-related standards, security, storage, administration, and APIs.
Attivio will present a technical overview of the Active Intelligence Engine, a platform for unified information access. Topics to be covered will include workflows, performance, scalability, security, connectivity, real-time updates, optimized relevance, faceted navigation, and query-time JOIN.
These tutorials will run in parallel from 9:30 to 11:00 and will be in English only, although questions will be accepted in Japanese. The plenary sessions, beginning at 13:00, will be in English with simultaneous interpretation into Japanese.
To register for one of the morning sessions, please write to info@basistech.jp or call 03-3511-2947. Each session will be limited to twenty participants, so please register early!
Demands for various search technologies are increasing these day. As more information becomes accessible to workers in the enterprise, it is becoming critical for the competitive enterprise to set the proper methods for finding and analyzing this information. IDC presents today’s utilization of search technology with market data and examples.
With discovery, the search bar is the UI of last resort: it works if you know what you are looking for. But discovery is not just about exploring what you know; it’s about uncovering what the content can tell you. It means mining content for patterns and allowing you to explore and navigate through them. If you can then use the results to launch a process, notify the right people or update a system, you have entered the world of active intelligence and driving the shift from finding information to using information. In this discussion we explore the latest discovery techniques and how you can exploit them for active intelligence. See a live demonstration of active intelligence technology integrating Attivio’s AIE (Active Intelligence Engine) and Basis Technology’s entity extraction and name translation.
Mark Logic will demonstrate the MarkLogic Server, the industry’s leading XML content platform, with a unique set of capabilities to store, aggregate, enrich, search, navigate, and dynamically deliver content. MarkLogic Server enables government agencies to improve knowledge management, information sharing, and collaboration, and to analyze vast amounts of content with real-time data delivery.
For the past ten years, Basis Technology has been the leader in bringing the best American search products to Japan. The company first entered this market with the launch of Lycos Japan in 1998. Since then, Basis Technology has provided the linguistic technology and local knowhow to enable top web search engines to enter Japan, including Google, MSN/Windows Live, Inktomi, Overture, and AllTheWeb.com.
Basis Technology’s linguistic products have made an even greater impact in the enterprise search marketplace, powering such products as PeopleSoft, Verity, FAST, Ultraseek, Convera, RightNow, and EMC/Documentum. The company has also established itself as a key provider of multilingual search to the U.S. government for a wide range of applications in defense, intelligence, and law enforcement.
Today, Basis Technology is proud to be bringing to Japan two of the brightest new stars in enterprise search -- Attivio and Mark Logic -- who are setting new standards in functionality, performance, and business value. Our presentation will review the evolution of enterprise search over the past ten years, the transfer of this technology between the American and Japanese markets, and our vision, together with our partners, of the future.
