Outsell's Gilbane Group Releases New Study on Semantic Software Technology Market

Comprehensive study the first to define complex landscape, key players, and drivers for adoption 

September 15, Cambridge, MA – Gilbane Group, a Division of Outsell, Inc., today announced the publication of a new research report, Semantic Software Technologies: Landscape of High Value Applications for the Enterprise.

According to Lynda Moulton, Gilbane Senior Analyst and Consultant and the study’s principle author, “There are close to 100 companies offering specialized semantic software applications or tools to support semantic search platforms. These include vocabulary management, data mining and normalization, and auto-categorization products, and services to build semantic applications. Understanding this complex landscape and matching the right technology to business problems has been a significant challenge for buyers and users.”

Gilbane’s report offers guidance in three principal areas. It defines semantic software, illustrates the applications and tools that are currently viable and being deployed in the enterprise, and describes the circumstances of their selection and use. Key findings of the research underlying the report include observations on the current state of the market, the critical role of skilled human resources for language management and ongoing content curation, and insights into adoption patterns and solutions packaging.

The study will be valuable to three types of readers: potential buyers of semantic software technologies, companies already using or adopting them, and vendors. “In a complex marketplace like semantics, it is important to reach common understanding about what is really available and to explain when a particular class of product is suitable for consideration,” notes Moulton. To that end, the report includes a glossary of terminology and a directory of companies and organizations in the market space. It also features profiles of study sponsors and their offerings. Additional commentary is published on Gilbane’s Enterprise Search blog.

Semantic Software Technologies is available as a free download from the Gilbane Group website. The report is also available from study sponsors Cognition, Expert System, and Linguamatics.
