Toward intuitive navigation

In a partnership designed to facilitate access to categorized data, Semio and Antarcti.ca have reached an agreement to provide users with an expanded, visual framework for finding and sharing data.

The two companies will cooperatively sell and market their respective products, SemioTagger and Visual Net, to organizations seeking solutions for the management and visualization of unstructured data.

Semio explains it uses a patented linguistic-based categorization method and statistical-clustering techniques to find the most relevant phrases and concepts within unstructured information matched to a customized taxonomy. SemioTagger then organizes that content into easily understood, topic hierarchies by linking information based on the concept(s) contained in the phrases. After the software has categorized and tagged data, it is fed through Antarcti.ca's Visual Net engine, which creates graphical large-scale maps of the newly structured data.
