Enhanced searching and taxonomic overviews of your corporate information resources

The Kaim Taxonomy Server (“KaTS”) provides enhanced searching of the text of a corporate intranet, website, or file system. KaTS utilizes “spider” technology to extract the complete text of these sources into a text-searchable database. This database enables the creation of a taxonomy of the source files, which enhances searching by enabling users to find all occurrences, not only of any term or phrase in the source files, but also of synonyms and narrower terms. This is accomplished by cross-checking terms from the source files against entries in selected controlled medical vocabularies (CMVs) and extracting those that match into a “targeted” thesaurus.

KaTS users can design specific searches by choosing to draw upon any or all of the CMVs selected when the database was created. They can also leverage the value of these CMVs by browsing a taxonomic overview of any or all of them – thus displaying the relative frequency with which specific items or branches of the taxonomy correspond to actual content in the source files.

KaTS has been developed using modular components to make it highly configurable and customizable.
