Content is king (If you can find it): a new model for knowledge storage and retrieval
F.L. Wurden · 2002
The technology for acquiring and storing vast amounts of complex data is accelerating at a much faster rate than the technology for retrieving and analyzing that data. While progress has been made with OODB, OLAP, and knowledge discovery (KD) systems, users of these systems are still required to know and supply missing semantic information. When dealing with complex real-world representations, this is often nearly impossible to do. We discuss a new model that provides significant improvements in storing, correlating, and navigating information. We first provide a brief background looking at other relevant knowledge representation approaches, then describe our patented Contiguous Connection Model. Finally we discuss the impact this technology has had on a large, high-value, digital media knowledge base.
