PoolParty ADF Search Application Use Cases

Enterprise data is often partially tagged but remains fundamentally unstructured. While data management systems such as database management systems (DBMS), content management systems (CMS), and document management systems (DMS) may provide underlying infrastructure, PoolParty ADF Search enables comprehensive semantic search capabilities across this content.

Organizations can create domain-specific thesauri using PoolParty taxonomies to describe their knowledge domains. When combined with custom schema implementations, faceted search solutions can be developed by indexing content, thereby providing structured access to previously unorganized data and documents.

Semantic technologies have experienced gradual adoption within enterprise IT architectures since their introduction. While their significance continues to expand compared to traditional relational models, early adopters have already published datasets in RDF format. These organizations require robust search applications built upon their RDF datasets, and ADF Search with underlying GraphSearch capabilities represents one of the few solutions capable of achieving this objective seamlessly.

For extensive PoolParty projects, the ADF Search application with underlying GraphSearch capabilities provides superior usability by enabling efficient search and display of thesauri and their constituent elements through an intuitive, modern interface. In many implementations, taxonomies and thesauri transcend their traditional role as vocabulary services and metadata sources, functioning instead as master data or core business objects.

When modeling knowledge assets such as chemical databases, biomedical repositories, point-of-interest catalogs, or product catalogs, ADF Search often provides the most efficient solution for data publication without requiring additional applications.

RSS feed integration represents the most expedient method for implementing semantic search on textual content. This functionality requires Elasticsearch search index configured for your project. By subscribing to RSS feeds in the GraphSearch search space configuration, ADF Search automatically performs the following operations based on specified thesauri:

Organizations frequently maintain data across heterogeneous models and structures. While existing semantics in such environments often demonstrate consistency, the diversity of underlying technologies and platforms typically prevents unified data access. In these scenarios, transformation to RDF format using consistent ontologies facilitates seamless data integration.This section provides guidance on implementing integration solutions utilizing PoolParty ADF Search with undelying GraphSearch capabilities in conjunction with UnifiedViews.
