SAS gets categorical

SAS has begun shipping Content Categorizer, which is designed to meaningfully parse and analyze enterprise content for entities and events. The company adds the offering creates metadata to trigger business processes that can improve organizational performance. The new standalone product is powered by Teragram, a division of SAS.

The company says Content Categorizer allows organizations to fully leverage content assets and provide for reuse across disparate departmental repositories, regardless of who owns the content or where it was generated.

Capabilities include:

• taxonomy creation—the intuitive graphical interface lets users create an organized information system of categories and concepts;
• category classification—custom-defined category rules let users classify documents that match a rule and exclude texts that do not; and
• collaboration--multiple taxonomists and developers, working individually or in teams, can securely access projects.
