Wordmap® Search Integration Framework: Unifying consistent user experience through taxonomy

Wordmap is a powerful, flexible, yet user-friendly Taxonomy Management System (“TMS”).
Wordmap integration options drive the tagging, classification and information architecture
needs of 3rd party content management and search applications, creating a unified and
improved user experience throughout the content lifecycle.

Use of the Wordmap
Integration Utility,
Taxonomy Connectors
or the programmable
Java API
allow centrally-managed taxonomy
to surface at key points
in the content lifecycle,
creating a consistent and
intuitive information experience.

 As shown above, your taxonomy is built and maintained at the heart of your information environment in the
Wordmap TMS. From here, taxonomy can be pushed (or pulled) to content repositories where documents
and digital assets are tagged; auto-classification applications can similarly use the taxonomy for tagging and indexing.
Once content has been tagged, taxonomies can be leveraged by search tools to facilitate improved search, information retrieval and faceted navigation.

Wordmap Taxonomy Connectors for Microsoft SharePoint and Endeca

Wordmap MOSS 2007 Taxonomy Connector

Integrate Wordmap taxonomies directly with Microsoft® Office SharePoint Server 2007 (“MOSS 2007”) to classify documents as well as support SharePoint browsing and search capabilities.
The MOSS 2007 Taxonomy Connector allows you to overcome many of the difficulties of managing taxonomies inside the SharePoint environment by allowing you to use the Wordmap TMS to do all of the daily taxonomy management tasks.

Wordmap Endeca Taxonomy Connector

The Endeca® Information Access Platform thrives on robust, well-constructed and well-maintained taxonomies. Use the Wordmap TMS to do your taxonomy management and allow our Endeca Taxonomy Connector to push the taxonomy to Endeca as the foundation of the guided navigation experience.
Wordmap’s Endeca Taxonomy Connector directly translates your taxonomies into the Endeca dimension.xsd format, pulled into Endeca on system start-up. The Wordmap Endeca Taxonomy Connector also allows you to leverage taxonomy in Endeca’s powerful auto-classification engine for improved content indexing.

Wordmap Taxonomy Connector Highlights:

• No configuration needed for consuming systems, Wordmap taxonomy data is sent in the preferred format of the search application for easy ingestion

• Manage the taxonomy centrally and push out only relevant sections for indexing, navigation and search

• Taxonomy is seamlessly integrated into the content lifecycle
