Do Semantic Search Companies Need a Semantic Map? It's All Semantics...

By Richard MacManus / September 19, 2008 3:05 PM

This week we reported that Cognition had announced "the largest commercially available Semantic Map of the English language." In our interview with Cognition CEO Scott Janus, we asked him to compare Cognition's technologies to those of other semantic search companies Hakia and Powerset. Janus pointed to their large Semantic Map as the main differentiator. Indeed he told us that semantic search companies "must include a comprehensive semantic map" to be successful.

Is this true? We sought a response from both Hakia and Microsoft-owned Powerset on this semantically charged question.

Cognition Technologies, a Semantic Web company that specialises in Natural Language Processing (NLP) search, is today announcing the release of what it claims is "the largest commercially available Semantic Map of the English language." We interviewed Cognition CEO Scott Janus to find out what this means.

We also discovered that Cognition, which currently licenses its technology to other organizations, is planning to build a general consumer search engine - which will compete with Google and others.
