Semantics (CEO: Arthur Cho, www.semantics.co.kr), a leading semantic web-based search engine developer in Korea, launched on December 24 its podcast site ‘Semantics Podics’ (www.podics.com) to provide mobile images, voice and music in blogs of mobile handset users. With high popularity, Semantics has been offering closed beta service of Podics since March this year for manias and professionals, ushering into the era of ‘multimedia take-out’. This is the first commercial podcast service for mobile handset-based bloggers in Korea. ‘Podcast’ is a combination of ‘pod’ of iPod and ‘cast’ of broadcast, meaning the mobile broadcast that enables users to enjoy mobile images and music using handheld digital devices such as MP3 players, portable multimedia players (PMPs) and portable game consoles. Podics allows bloggers to easily download user-created mobile images, and audio files in real time, using an RSS reader, or upload their own podcasts created by themselves through their portable digital gears such as MP3 players and PMPs. It also enables bloggers to upload their voice reples. For bloggers, it also offers widgets for portable players and blogs, allowing them to conveniently enjoy mobile images and audio podcasts in their blogs in real time. “We launched the commercial Podics service, opening the era of multimedia ‘take-out’ where bloggers can enjoy multimedia content even when they are moving. Unlike text messages exchanged between bloggers, image and voice messages of podcast will help them enhance friendship and trust,” said Kang Deok-su, Executive Director for Podics business division at Semantics. |

|
[ 2007-12-17 오후 4:00:19 ] |
|
Semantics (CEO: Arthur Cho, www.semantics.co.kr), a leading meaning-based search engine developer in Korea, unveiled on December 17 its new automatic extractor of web document tag, called TAGrobo. Reading web documents instantly, TAGrobo can attach tags to appropriate words after automatically extracting key words and sense groups from documents. While current blogs support tagging on very primitive levels causing inconveniences to users, TAGrobo enables them to easily attach tags to all words in their blogs and web documents by automatically extracting sense groups related to words. When TAGrobo is adopted in search engine, Internet users can easily search words that they failed to do so by mistake or for some other reasons. It also can dramatically increase efficiency of search advertisements by automatically recommending tags connected with search words. |

|
[ 2007-12-13 PM 2:56:59 ] |

While Internet search engine is playing increasingly important role in sharpening competitive edge of information technology industry, Semantics (CEO: Arthur Cho, www.semantics.co.kr), an innovative semantic web technology developer in Korea, announced on December 13 its successful development of a breakthrough website classification and search system based on semantic technology. Semantics also said that it has already obtained a patent in Korea for its proprietary ‘website classification and search system and method based on semantic technology’, and that it was on the way of applying for patents in other countries. Regarded as a killer application in the search engine market, a large number of technology companies around the world are vying to develop semantic web technologies. And the new technology successfully developed by Semantics demonstrates its technology prowess as a leader in the next generation search engine market. Configured with a grouping policy server, data collection server, identification allocation server, multiple group search database and a main index server, the new search engine of Semantics, an evolving extension of the World Wide Web, can deliver satisfactory results as intended by the user, by classifying and searching keywords instantly and accurately, according to the company. Whereas other search engines now available take considerably long time and efforts to find out intended information from the vast Internet resources, Semantics’ patented technology enables users to sharply reduce time and labor in search as it can efficiently classify and search websites as a whole or by groups as chosen by the user. Unlike the conventional keyword-based search engine which has many fundamental shortcomings, including the unsystematic categorization of information, Semantics’ new technology can deliver intended search results rapidly and accurately through efficient processes of systematically categorizing words by groups, collecting data from all web pages, allocating related identifications, and searching multiple group databases. |
