1. SLA Presentation September 2008
From CD-ROM to Web 3.0, News and business information is a constant challenge
Pierre aimait le nom alors on n’a trouvé une explication ;-)
Ce projet a été lancé en septembre 2006.
L’objectif du projet est d’améliorer notre infrastructure de recherche et de gestion des documents.

3. Overview of CEDROM-SNi
Offices in Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa and Paris
100 employees
1200+ publications
800 traditional publications (daily,weekly, magazines,...)
400 social media (web sites & blogs)
news stories per day
85 millions in the archive
We still do CD-ROM...

4. There is too much content now and that’s the new challenge
Content was king
But it’s changing...
There is more and more newspapers that give their content freely on their websites
Ads versus subscription model
Google puts newspaper archives for free over the internet
Social media is growing
At last, the public will have a channel to talk
There is too much content now and that’s the new challenge

5. What do you expect from a CMS?
Relevant Content
Validated content
Selectable content
External content but also internal content
Powerful search engine
Full text but also multi-criteria query
Boolean and proximity operators (no better way yet)
A system that will be able to launch queries to others systems (federated search)
Relevancy mechanism (to whom?)
Monitoring & Alert system
To alert you as soon something arrived or once a week/day to give you an overview of the week/day
Document Management system that helps you to organise the documents
To keep important or relevant documents
To prepare a folder on a topic for you or someone else
Shareable system to publish (share) the content with colleagues, clients, ...
1 to 1, 1 to N, N to N
Intranet Posting, RSS feed, , ...
You need a system that will be available Anytime and Anywhere
Web access but more and more on your phone
A DRM system
If there is any rights over the content
Ok! but what’s next?

6. Next step will be ... Analysis of the search results (Summary)
Taxonomy will be very helpful to cluster the results
Semantic analysis will be very useful to identify strong concepts and entities inside of the full text

8. This is a big challenge
Finding documents that fit a query within a large information haystack was a challenge 20 years ago but we’ve found a pretty good solution for that
Obtaining very quickly information on each of those documents and “crushing” that information to give a summary of the results is a new challenge
Retrieving the name of the authors from a list of 2 million documents and calculating the numbers of news stories for each of them in less than 2 seconds... That’s a challenge

9. Next step will be ... Analysis of the search results (Summary)
Taxonomy will be very helpful to cluster the results
Semantic analysis will be very useful to identify strong concepts and entities inside of the full text
Creation of content with the content
Web 3.0 – The Semantic Web

10. The WEB 3.0

13. IPOD –MP3 Player launch in 2001 by Apple Buzz rate : 87 %
wikipedia
Official website
blogs
Social media
Social network
IPOD –MP3 Player launch in 2001 by Apple
Buzz rate : 87 %
Satisfaction rate: 74 % (détails…)
Price : 99$ - 499$ (détails…)
Competitors : Microsoft Zune, Créative Zen
Cons : Battery’s life, Hard disk reliability (20%), screen is fragile.

15. Next step will be ... Analysis of the search results (Summary)
Taxonomy will be very helpful to cluster the results
Semantic analysis will be very useful to identify strong concepts and entities inside of the full text
Creation of content with the content
Web 3.0
The sentiment (tone analysis)
This feature will help the system to red flag content that is very negative or very positive
Very useful in identifying trends
It is NOT perfect and need a lots of fine tuning

17. Sentiment
Most systems are currently doing only sentiment at the document level
Not really interesting
We are working with NStein to have a tonality by sentence, paragraph, document but also by entities.
This document is talking about
“Nortel” and it is 85% negative
“Cisco” and it is 55% positive
“Linksys” and it is neutral
...
This kind of information is very useful to create charts and to do some brand monitoring
Métadonnées perso : Possibilité que les usagers puissent changer un métadonnées. Surtout utile pour la tonalité.

18. Conclusion
With the first generation of our products, we gave you access to the content (Fast search, fast delivery)
With the second generation, we gave you 24/7 monitoring system (Alert)
With the current generation, we gave you the platform to “animate” your community. (Share folders, intranet posting, RSS, Blackberry, ...)
In the next step, we will give better tools to view the forest, not only the trees.
You will be able create content from the content (Dash board, trend analysis, ...) and you will be able to share that new information with your community.
