Knowledge, Learning, Community
The corporate community is often well ahead of the academic community in the deployment of e-learning technologies, and this announcement is a case in point. What is significant about this item is this: "RetrievalWare enables the retrieval of very specific information by 'slicing-and-dicing' search results using dynamic classification - the ability to mix concepts, terms and expressions across multiple categories to quickly isolate desired information." The key here is the concept of 'dynamic categoization' - the automated sorting of items into categories in real time (I do the same sort of thing on this website, but with nowhere near the power of this software). This functionality is provided by a company called Convera, and a perusal of their White Paper bank is strongly recommended (you'll have to register).
