June 8, 2010 · Filed Under Photo, Press Release · Comment (Edit)

 

Integrated Semantic Search Solution, [IN2]Discovery by Saltlux (Tony Lee, CEO) was awarded with Grand Prize of New Software of General Software Field for January and February.

[IN2]Discovery already exceeded the limit of keyword-oriented integrated search. It is an enterprise search engine based on semantics, concept and information relationship. This integrated search solution is a product that adds Search 2.0 technology and platform virtualization technology, a semantic technology that allows text mining and ontology for inference and knowledge visualization.

It is capable of searching by semantics, concept, and subject, plus suggesting search word, object search, automatic summary, image search and internal/external knowledge networking feature. Especially, the knowledge production trend analysis feature that implements knowledge placement structure analysis, knowledge consumption trend analysis, and connected knowledge relationship trend analysis was popular with users.

Furthermore, this solution searches information by semantics of word rather than keyword match and allows automatic analysis and expanded search of the related subject depending on meaning of inquiry.

It is capable of semantically integrating 1 billion pieces of unstructured information and saving more than 20% of time for searching and analyzing information.

Especially, this is a powerful enterprise search engine that finds hidden knowledge of the information on the surface and allows balanced utilization of internal/external knowledge.

 
The feature called "SSAMZIE" developed based on ontology and inference technology in [IN2]Discovery finds semantic relationship among company documents such as emails. It makes it possible for individual work relationship and centralization analysis for specific work by analyzing various points of view. It also allows to search the in-house experts of the main knowledge and people (connectors) for connection.

One of Saltlux personnel stresses, [IN2]Discovery is a product that analyzes structured/unstructured information dispersed within organization in various point of view to help utilizing it as useful knowledge asset of the company," and "it is efficient enough to make it fast and easy to find work area for better decision making with one search solution."

Interview with Tony Lee, CEO

-Background of the product development is…

[IN2]Discovery was developed with the existing search engine, [IN2] DOR feature combined with semantic technology and text mining technology corresponding to our customer requirement. Besides the customer requirement, additional development was later made for relationship and connection between information data, information knowledge base and its asset, plus acquiring insight of work.

Information used to be power in the past. However, the power of the future is to connect and interpret various information data in different ways to convert into action, so enterprise result will be determined by capability of integrating individual knowledge to connect and applying it to the existing knowledge people already aware of.

-Product sales and marketing strategy are….

We are planning to dedicate ourselves to sales targeted for high-end market and population with expansion of semantic search technology market via marketing activities. We will imprint our image of leading enterprise for semantic search technology field in the market.

-Export status and plans are…

▲ Saltlux has targeted markets in Europe and US since 2005. Saltlux solely participates in semantic research project of Europe such as FP6 and FP7(around KRW 100 trillion) as a Korean enterprise. Saltlux established a branch in Japan and R&D center in Vietnam in 2008. Saltlux is pioneering markets in Asia as well as in Europe.

-Target revenue of this year is…

We are expecting around 8 billion KRW in revenue.

-Future plan for new product development and releases are…

We are planning to release semantic business platform, STORM in the first half year and semantic search service platform, Owlim in the second half year. Saltlux will become global knowledge service enterprise with product and services based on semantic technology, the core technology of the future industry.

In this seminar Saltlux introduced the way to improve the value of the in-house knowledge asset of an enterprise through storage, sharing and utilization of documents to its partner companies and customers.
 
At the introductory presentation Tony Lee, the president and CEO of Saltlux emphasized, “Even so huge number of documents produced in a corporate production processes and know-hows could not be shared in the organization because of the difficulties to share registration or upload method and worries of problem disclosure due to the egocentric mind for the team and only the final results shared. To resolve this issue an organization needs to have an easy automation system to use with a reasonable introduction costs, easy setting and operation of the system without a skilled IT specialist, and with strong security function and flexible connectivity.”
 
Saltlux introduced a hardware integrated [IN2]SearchBox that enables a document archive and intellectual search as a way to resolve this issue at this seminar and through which a corporate could improve business productivity and efficiency with a simultaneous saving the cost.
 
Through use case of [IN2]SearchBox system by a patent agent, a consulting company and a research laboratory of a university, HyungJune Park of Saltlux emphasized, “The needs for search and share are urgent because of the information quantity is tremendously increased by documents electronization. And the past record reference job is also increasing in dealing with the similar documents and project. And [IN2]SearchBox would be the answer for the solution to this issue.”
 
At the seminar Saltlux also introduced [IN2]Discovery that is being launched in May this year. [IN2]Discovery is a semantic search platform that provides insight through reorganization and analysis of information, and that helps for the decision making through discovery and utilization of hidden information.
 
Saltlux is planning to hold a seminar on analysis and utilization of information in commemoration of [IN2]Discovery launch under the theme of “Search and Discovery that leads the knowledge world, the second story” late May.
