BOTTARI - Description of the application
BOTTARI is a service which provides geo context information and social context information. The service recommends Points of Interest (POIs) with geo context information for users through augmented reality based on location and view angle of users’ smart phones (Android OS).
Geo context information includes detailed information of the POIs such as GPS coordinates, contacts, menus, price and so on, and also includes subjective information such as ambience, reviews, etc. Social context information includes reputations of POIs analysed from social media messages by machine learning. And BOTTARI is able to recommend some POIs based on the information of social context information. For these functions, there are four buttons (Figure 1). ‘For me’ to recommend POIs which can be preferred by the current user, ‘Popular’ ones which have much of positive reputations on Twitter, "Emerging" ones which is similar to "Popular" showing the most popular in the last 6 months and ‘Interesting’ ones which can be interesting to visit for the foreign visitors in Korea.
Figure 1 - BOTTARI Service UI
From the BOTTARI user interface, POIs are shown on the basis of the current user position. And if the menu button located left bottom in the UI is pressed, it will display some options for choosing recommendation and distance filters (shown in Figure 1).
Figure 2 - Selection of a POI
If one of the POIs is selected, BOTTARI will display its description/introduction and the list of POIs which are near the selected POI, and there is the ‘Details’ button to query details of the POI (see Figure 2). If the button is selected, details are displayed including reputations, map and pictures (shown in Figure 3).
Figure 3 - POI Details
In the details view, the "reputation" button let the user see the details on the POI reputation (Figure 4). The reputation trends view shows monthly reputations from some perspectives of overall, taste, comfort and service using graphs displaying positive and negative messages counts.

The best SW in 2010, semantic search engine Discovery!!
SALTLUX was initiated as a specialized company for natural language processing. It is the best company in Korea in text mining and semantic technology.
[IN2]DOR and TMS, the integral search engine and mining engine awarded the prize of Minister of Information and Telecommunication in the new SW product grand prize on 2003. [IN2]Discovery, semantic integral search engine awarded the prize of Minister of Knowledge and Economy on March 2010. We awarded the presidential prize which is the best wining out of the companies which awarded the prized from ministers in the new SW product. We are proud that it is a unique search engine awarded the president prize after awarding the new SW prize from ministries not from the public exhibition contest.
Actually, Saltlux notified the semantic technology which was not aware by the customer in less matured market situation and was not afraid of providing the solution combined with semantic technology to the search engine, knowledge management solution, document management solution and group ware which was used in the company. That is the [IN2] Discovery which was developed in single shape by combination of every technology.
Somebody told that semantic is bluffing, there is no market, and the commercialization is difficult. And others told that pay attention on the cash cow business of integral search engine and semantic is not a company for search engine. However, semantic had drawn attention as the most powerful next generation runner in the market with distinguished function of individual search in the integral search engine. Especially, semantic reached to intensify on the technology to analyze and utilize the anomalous data not only the automatic classification/summary/grouping/extraction in the information mining technology. All of these was performed in the selective decision that semantic search engine will take a position soon as a standard search engine circulating in the market from 2003. The analysis mining technology of Saltlux makes the semantic technology as more advanced.
After long time of waiting in endurance, finally Saltlux reached to make the market structure where there is no choice without making the search engine based on semantic technology by everybody while producing a new trend in the integral search engine market. There was a big progress with the most powerful semantic search engine on 2010 when the SNS was popularized and awarded the presidential prize, the best prize.
SALTLUX, as a leading company for sharing the technology for valuable life with customer and feeling the happiness in the cooperation, launched the “semantic search engine of Discovery 2 as more developed governance for anomalous contents” in the semantic search market where every company was involved now. The final version will be completed in the beginning of coming year, but the currently distributed beta version becomes a new technology and new experience to the customer.
The Discovery of semantic is the algorithm, solution and product made from the study driven by customer needs.
The glory of president prize is owing to the customers who thought and introduced the solution together for the better life of organization in believing to semantic. Thank you and thank you again.
SALTLUX will be a coordinator and partner for everybody in the world to knowledge communicate as a company providing more valuable solution and a knowledge service company representing Korea in better shape in 2011.
Thank you.
