Search Engine News :: Optimise Web Sites for Organic Search

Web Fountain IBM IBM sets out to make sense of the Web | CNET News.com: "That goes well beyond the capabilities of Web search engines developed by companies such as Google, Inktomi and Fast Search and Transfer. These products typically scour the Web to find the documents that best match a given query, typically analyzing links to important Web pages or matching similar chunks of text. With these and other methods, search lets people browse, locate or relocate information, and get background information on a topic.
By contrast, IBM's WebFountain wants to help find meaning in the glut of online data. It's based on text mining, or what's called natural language processing (NLP). While it indexes Web pages, it tags all the words on a page, examines their inherent structure, and analyzes their relationship to one another. The process is much like diagramming a sentence in fifth grade, but on a massive scale. Text mining extracts blocks of data, nouns-verb-nouns, and analyzes them to show causal relationships."
