ConWeaver - Die semantische Suchmaschine

Does it sound familiar? - Deadlines and tasks accumulate on a completely ordinary business day. You are in urgent need of a specific information and search for it in the file server, the client’s database, the product catalogue and in the intranet. Wouldn’t it be more efficient to search in all the relevant data sources with a single query and get all important information?

With the help of ConWeaver you can integrate your corporate knowledge in a knowledge network and then do a simple, structured and quick search.

ConWeaver – The software

Based on standard technology, ConWeaver is a software for the automatic linking of knowledge, semantic integration and intelligent search in portals and intranets. ConWeaver covers components for the extraction, integration and searching of information.

The ConWeaver integration components automatically extract corporate knowledge from dispersed, heterogeneous data sources and represent it in the form of a multilingual, semantic knowledge network. This knowledge network, also often described as a semantic network or ontology, reflects the expert knowledge as well as the factual knowledge on business objects like customers, products, projects, processes or experts in the form of semantic relationships. At the same time, it is able to associate or classify documents that are thematically and contextually similar. Every knowledge network is the result of a specific analysis workflow that uses various analysis methods in a data-specific, flexible and individual manner. The knowledge network is updated by an update engine. It automatically adjusts the knowledge network to data changes at regular intervals.

The ConWeaver search components enable a uniform intelligent search via distributed data sources. They utilise the semantic, thematic and contextual descriptions of the knowledge network to carry out a multilingual search independent of phrasing and deliver a thematically structured search result. The ConWeaver search provides information on facts as well as on document contents. Recommendations on thematically similar documents or factual entries enable an additional thematic exploration and navigation.

What do semantic knowledge networks accomplish?

Semantic search solutions that are based on knowledge networks function much more efficiently than traditional search solutions. They do not look for words, but for meanings and thereby recognise that “Kunde” (German for customer) in the distribution data base is synonymous with "customer" in the email archive and "client" in project documentation. The content–related integration of various IT systems throughout the organisation becomes only possible through semantics.

Semantic search solutions aggregate search results contentwise – whether or not it is highly structured factual information or texts from data bases and directories. Moreover, thematically related information – and thereby the context of the query – is included. With our ConWeaver software, we develop an integrated semantic search solution for your organisation quickly and safely.

ConWeaver – The semantic search engine

It is not sufficient to link data bases and document servers via intranets and portals to a joint user interface to make corporate knowledge accessible and traceable. Without a logical integration of stored data and documents and an intelligent search, the desired information can be found only through the knowledgeable phrasing of queries for every single data source and extensive strategies for the matching of search results. More and more organisations are aware of this fact.

This is where ConWeaver’s innovative semantic integration and search technology comes in. ConWeaver enables an intelligent search in the corporate portal or intranet through the integration of stored data and documents with the help of a knowledge network.

This knowledge network utilises ConWeaver as a logical search index for all connected data sources. With just one query phrasing, the user addresses all the stored data and documents and gets a comprehensive, total and structured search result. ConWeaver includes analysis services to automatically build knowledge networks and components for the semantic search.
