HiSoftware’s Enterprise Metadata Solutions Provide Enhanced Search for RDF/XML

New release enhances corporate Search facilities and document policy management.

Concord, NH December 10, 2003 – HiSoftware, Inc., the leader in enterprise content quality management solutions, announced today an enhancement for its Enterprise Metadata solution, Metadata Server, that allows for advanced catalog, search and retrieval of RDF/XML. The new functionality provides users with the ability to catalog search and retrieve resources that would not previously have been accessible. Metadata Server enables organizations to categorize and index digital content, resulting in better/faster search and retrieval of information via a corporate Intranet or the Internet.  Metadata, which adds the same type of intelligent tagging to documents that card catalogs supply about books, is the key to organizing and leveraging corporate knowledge. These solutions allow users to create a portal-style index of documents that can be created, searched and modified on the fly.

Metadata Server, which includes Hi-Search, the first "Fielded only" search services available on the market, can now catalog files that contain the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set encoded in simple RDF/XML. This feature allows users to catalog, search and retrieve resources, described using the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set that would not normally be searched. This new functionality enables advanced search of resources described in XML-that have no native ability for Metadata to be embedded within them, including pictures, maps PDF documents and images. HiSoftware’s developer tool TagGen Office, allows for the creation of these XML records. Metadata Server provides an affordable and scalable solution for management of search and policy verification initiatives across enterprise organizations.

HiSoftware’s enterprise metadata solutions assist organizations in achieving and maintaining Web sites in compliance with organizational standards for searchability and custom metadata policies. These solutions, available as client and automated server-based applications, help organizations develop long-term strategies to achieve Web content searchability and quality. They allow multiple users to work collaboratively on Web site content policy implementation and testing-resulting in reductions in time and resources.
