WebLib is on the forefront of new developments and we are developing our in-house big data solution, the InfoHarvester. We are to offer big data solutions to our customers and Richárd is playing a pivotal role in our efforts.

Our CEO Endre Jóföldi gives a talk under the same title at the annual Web 2.0 Symposium on March 21.

Companies - especially in the field of media industry - are producing more and more content as part of they everyday routine. Although the makers of these contents are confident of the structured nature of their products, users are having hard times finding any kind of structure in the information deluge. Semantic solutions enrich content with meta-data that makes possible to find the hidden structure. For example, BBC is to lunch a semantic data store of the London Olympic Games which can be used to look up every data associated with the event (participants, coaches and other delegates). This data can be used to enhance the quality of broadcasting, or to provide meta-data to news reports and automatically find connections among news items.

Sign up for the conference here.

Our CEO gave a talk under the title above on 7 February 2012 at the Semantic Tech&Business web conference, Berlin. The conference covered the whole spectrum of semantic web technologies and search. Key figures of the field from Europe and the US got together for two days. Participating was very informative as we learned about exciting tools that we are ready to build into our existing solutions.

Our CTO spoke about our award winning NLMPlus search engine, see his slide below.
