In this blog I describe how to perform Auto Tagging in Microsoft SharePoint 2013 with the new RAVN Pipeline 5.0. Auto Tagging including extracting people and locations that are mentioned in the document text and then tagging them to a Managed Metadata column in a SharePoint Document Library, as well as, automatically building up the
The Problem Large, geographically diverse organisations are very likely to have document content located around several different locations. Often it is housed in a distributed Document Management System (DMS), and just as often housed on shared drives in local offices. This situation can become problematic if the employees in these organisations are expected to access,
RAVN Systems, experts in Enterprise Search, Unstructured Big Data analytics and Knowledge Management solutions, recently held an event on enhancing the value of Microsoft SharePoint in the Legal Sector. Around 50 delegates attended from various international legal organisations. The first informative session opened with Gina Jennings, Director at Outer Circle on the subject of challenges
What’s MongoDB Days? MongoDB is one of the leading NoSQL databases. MongoDB Days is a global event for developers and administrators using MongoDB. Hosted in different cities around the world, every 12-18 months in each one, it is a great opportunity to learn more about the database and how to get the most out of
Implementing NER There are multiple ways we go about implementing NER. A simple method would be to have a dictionary of words that belong to a certain type of entity (e.g. a list of all the countries in the world) and do simple string matching against a provided document.

When writing .NET code, once a namespace is imported with the ‘using’ directive, types in that namespace can be used without referencing the namespace itself: [csharp]using System.Collections.Generic; List l = new List(); // Instead of: System.Collections.Generic.List l = new System.Collections.Generic.List();[/csharp] However, it’s
We recently finished an interesting piece of work for a large Law firm in London. They needed to migrate some of their “Know How” documents that were stored in their Document Management System (DMS) into SharePoint 2013. This was part of the company upgrade to SharePoint 2013 and the project to bring together documents from other systems.
After a hard week of knuckling down building state of the art enterprise search solutions there’s nothing RAVN like more that to have a nice relaxing sit down meal in the trendy Old Street area. It’s important we line our stomachs for Beer O’clock later that day! We’ve put together a run down of our
