  • METHOD FOR ENTITY ENRICHMENT OF DIGITAL CONTENT TO ENABLE ADVANCED SEARCH FUNCTIONALITY IN CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20160239504
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for extending search capabilities of contentment management systems, such as SharePoint 2013®, to enable geographic and name entity based searches. Geographic and named entity searches are enabled by a content enrichment web service. The content enrichment web service calls a geotagging or a named entity tagger web service application to tag crawled managed properties as input and return geographically or entity modified managed properties as output. The system associates one or more geographically and named entity modified managed properties with content and stores this information as metadata in a SharePoint 2013® search index. Thus, the search system allows users to identify a particular geographic entity the user is interested in finding, and to receive search results directly related to that geographic entity on SharePoint 2013®.
