Knowledge Map

Search from a different angle

As we know from current studies and user data analyses of search engine providers, most users enter max. two terms to start their search. By using the Knowledge Map, it is no longer necessary to enter even a single search term - just by a few mouse clicks the user can targetedly and comprehensibly reach the desired search result.


Your corporate knowledge at a glance

The IntraFind solution "Knowledge Map" offers a user-friendly surface for doing research in company internal data sources.
All available data are clearly visualized in a "360 degree view" and can be quickly and easily narrowed to the desired hit document just by mouse click without the need to enter one single search term.




Search without searching - snippet of a Knowledge Map


Get your search results - just by a few mouse clicks

Therefore, you can use the document filters which are based on meta data of the documents (e.g. author, last modification date, topic or file type) and which can be company- or user-specifically adjusted if needed.

Furthermore, it is possible to dynamically extract company-specific entities (e.g. products, brands, services, locations, specialists or commodities) directly out of the content by using fully automatic entity recognition.

The Knowledge Map is generated out of meta data which are either already part of the single documents or pieces of information (e.g. document properties) or which are automatically recognized via text mining methods (Named Entity Recognition). By this, every employee can filter the data pool by the specific entities he needs to fulfill his daily job as information worker.

When selecting the properties of the desired document (e.g. "show me all patents of last year affecting our product iFinder") the entire data pool is limited by mouse click to a small set of hit documents which have the properties the user is searching for. This means that the Knowledge Map dynamically adapts to your current selection. 


Search like in an online shop

This way, the user can profit from an intuitively usable, intelligent navigation which guides him to the desired information within a few clicks. Working with the Knowledge Map can be compared with using the navigation of leading modern online shops in the internet.

In these online shops it is also no longer necessary to enter search terms in a search field because you can find the desired article within a few mouse clicks - just by selecting some characteristics of the product. There is only one difference between Knowledge Map and online shop which means a great benefit: the companies donīt need to maintain any meta data or taxonomies for search, but they can focus on their core tasks.  


Secure Search

During the whole search process, existing user authorizations are considered, of course. This means that the user can only view documents he has been granted access to. Consequently, every Knowledge Map is the userīs personal view on "his corporate knowledge".
