Building powerful applications using semantic classification
1. Review your findability objectives and the overall context in which Semaphore will be deployed (technology, organization, processes, and representative assets)
2. Plan and configure a proof of concept that helps you assess the potential of Semaphore Demonstrating how it will improve findability Evaluating the potential of automated taxonomy creation and tagging
given a selection of representative documents or other digital assets
3. Document results and identify opportunities and challenges to succeeding with a Semaphore deployment in your organization
4. Collaborate to develop a roadmap for meeting your findability objectives Planning out technology integration, taxonomy development,
knowledge transfer, sustainable governance and other aspects of a successful initiative
• Is our current taxonomy sufficient to meet our findability objectives? If not, where do we need to expand to more facets
for search and navigation? Do we need to custom craft high-value areas of
taxonomy to support our core business operations?
• Does our taxonomy have the rich synonyms and relationships required to ensure automated tagging? If not, will automated tagging do a good job with the
metadata present in our unstructured content? Can we “extract” semantic metadata using
Semaphore’s ability to text mine and generate an ontology?
• Do we need to improve our governance model to maintain a deep and broad taxonomy over time? Can we leverage our existing governance model for
data management or do we need a different approach?
• What are the skills and resources needed to successfully maintain a Semaphore solution over time? How much training will our organization need? Given
our environment and culture what is the best way to develop the skills we need?
• How will we leverage semantic classification to further improve findability and reuse in our IT initiatives?
