Applications: Similarity Search & Semantic Search

• PoolParty TagEvent Store as a basis for a semantic index ( IndexBuilder)

• „Similarity“ is configurable: Certain features of a document can be „boosted“ (example: persons, places / user tags etc.)

• Thesaurus can be used for facetted and moderated search (examples: emteba.at, ecoi.net)

• Optional: Anbindung von linguistischen Analysewerkzeugen ( TextTech)
