Multidimensionality is the key to Meaning.
Meaningful information isn’t flat, rather it is multidimensional. Something which permeates our solutions from their core outwards to include every aspect of their usage.
In choosing the dimensions to support we focussed on the key facets of most multi-criteria Searches; where, what, who or which.
Accordingly our software incorporates the following 3 dimensions:
- Where - from Continent down to map coordinates.
- What - Classification tree up to 16 levels deep.
- Who or Which - with grouped catalogues.
By representing Where and What in hierarchies you can also search information in terms of its generality or specialization. What knowledge engineers call granularity.
Additional Synonym support means that equivalent Search queries differently expressed not only yield identical results as they should but also get broadened automatically to cover the full range of possible related queries.
METAm8 solutions also support a unique 2 way integrated Search and Browse capability. With Browsing supported by our unique multidimenional bi-directional browsing menus enabling content exploration as if by navigating a 3D information space.
