Subject: [topicmaps-comment] New Semantic Networks Product
This Web site is the creation of Kathleen M. Fisher, who contributed a chapter on topic maps in the classroom to the new book _XML Topic Maps_ which is now in press and about to begin shipping (if it hasn't already). Jack http://www.semanticresearch.com "Semantic Research is focused on a key problem facing most organizations with multi-faceted informational resources and systems: the capture, organization, management and visualization of knowledge. Chief among these organizations are the military, the intelligence community, major corporations, government agencies, and bio sciences. Over the last 25 years, two significant issues related to the management of knowledge have emerged: Information Overload and Tacit Knowledge." "We apply semantic networking theory to a new breed of sophisticated knowledge capture, management and transfer products. Our goal is to create value for our customers by increasing revenue, lowering costs, and producing benefits of knowledge capitalization through the use of our Semantica™ products. Semantica provides an intuitive, graphical environment for quickly and easily capturing unstructured knowledge from knowledge workers and experts, integrating it into an accessible knowledge management framework." "A semantic network is fundamentally a system for capturing, storing and transferring information that works much the same as (and is, in fact, modeled after) the human brain. It is robust, efficient and flexible. It is also the basis for many efforts to produce artificial intelligence. Semantic networks can grow to extraordinary complexity, necessitating a sophisticated approach to visual display, balancing the need for simplicity with the full expressive power of the network. Semantic networks may be traversed via concept list views, via their relations, or by retracing the user's history."
