Thierry Hubert and I will be
presenting at the Enterprise Search Summit 2010. It will be at the Hilton in
New York City on May 11-12. We are presenting on Deriving Order From Chaos
Through Discovery and Awareness. Our session is on Wednesday May 12 at 1PM. The
Enterprise Search Summit says that the “emphasis for Enterprise Search Summit
is on how enterprise search enables Information Access. Search can no longer be
viewed as a stand-alone application. It is increasingly part of everything we
do and has become the de facto gateway to information in the
enterprise.” I would certainly agree and we hope to see you there. Here is the
summary of our session.
The presentation provides a
practical application of chaos theory for creating useful content focal points
from the chaotic mess of content resources distributed across the web. Several
examples will be provided, both from the internet, where socially generated
content is exploding, and from the enterprise, where social tools are
contributing to content bloat. The examples will illustrate how activity can
make information more discoverable and easier to explore through various
visualization techniques. The approach can be targeted to specific types of
content such as blogs or online news sites, as well as subsets of unstructured
or structured content within the enterprise.
This is an especially good time
of the year to be in New York. Go to MOMA while you are there.
