Data tagging makes managing and searching easy

New generation Internet search technology can also be applied to organization and lookup in enterprise intranets. Therefore, tag companies that describe and classify documents will have an advantage over those who ignore this operation.

Clare Hart, Deputy CEO of Dow Jones & Co. and is the president of the Factiva online information service site, recounting how an employee prepared a blueprint for prospects to attract customers. After two weeks of focused research and construction, he found his project is located right on the company's printer. " That situation is everywhere ," Hart said. " Tag the data description as a form of 'copyright stamp' of the author, while avoiding wasting time searching for files ".

Last week, IT experts participating in the World Wide Web Conference (WWW2006) in Edinburgh (Scotland) also mentioned the prospect that computers would be able to interpret descriptions attached to data. , then intelligently connect between related files to create the Semantic Web world.

This idea is not just for the Internet, but also for the Intranet. However, businesses need to make their own rules to control documents and allow those who can access files. Next, people need to classify what information will be displayed through search keywords.

The online news service Factiva used automatic tagging for 80% of the 5 million files they collected. Data is divided by categories: company, industry, region, subject and language. 20% of the remaining information is still classified manually.

" For me, the trend of Web 2.0 is simply understood that the Web will serve me, but I do not want to have to serve the web . It takes me a few hours to find what I need ," Hart said.
