Extractor 1.0 by Verity
http://www.verity.com/

Verity has announced Extractor 1.0, what it calls enterprise-class software that identifies and extracts concepts, patterns and entities in diverse content distributed across an organization. It is the first such Verity product that integrates directly with the company’s search, classification and recommendation technologies, making unstructured content more meaningful, valuable and actionable, the company claims. Verity adds that the ability to discern and then act on such patterns is enhanced by Verity Extractor’s integration with Verity search tools such as combinations of Parametric Selection, fielded search and full-text search that use the extracted entities to enhance search relevancy. Extractor 1.0 improves the relevancy of a full-text search by analyzing that text for meaning, in, for example, unstructured content of a secure medical messaging system, such as doctors’ names, hospitals, insurance plans, health histories and dates. Verity explains that all entities are tagged so that when a hospital administrator searches for a doctor’s referral letter for a given patient, only the records of that individual will be returned, not anything relating to doctors with the same name as the patient, or patients with the same name as the doctor.
