How To Webinar – conceptTaxonomyManager and SharePoint

SharePoint Relevant Knowledge Transfer Webinar on April 10 2013 

Concept Searching will be hosting a webinar on How to Integrate Taxonomy and Term Store Management on Wednesday April 10th, at 11:30-11:45 AM EDT.

This free of charge session is part of the Concept Searching 2013 How To Webinar Series, which explores how to deploy conceptClassifier for SharePoint, and discusses why the technologies result in leveraging SharePoint through intelligent metadata enabled solutions.

This 15 minute, bite-sized webinar will show how to work with conceptTaxonomyManager, the powerful taxonomy management tool that is still unique in the industry. Developed with the view that a taxonomy solution should be used by business professionals, and not the IT team or librarians, the end result is a highly interactive and powerful tool that has been proven to reduce taxonomy development by up to 80 percent.

Participants will find out why conceptClassifier for SharePoint is the most powerful solution available in SharePoint for intelligent metadata tagging, auto-classification, and taxonomy management. Expert speaker, founder and CEO/CTO at Concept Searching, John Challis will share his knowledge on:

  • Creating taxonomy classes
  • Clue suggestion and refinement
  • Integration and management of SharePoint with the Term Store

Concept Searching Agave Applications Coming in Fall of 2012

Concept Searching has announced that the web extensions (Microsoft code name agave) will be developed and available for Office 15 using Concept Searching’s core technologies.    Agaves are content aware web applications built with HTML and JavaScript that can extend both desktop and web Office applications.  An Agave can appear in several forms: as a task pane (or sidebar), a block within your content, or as a popup that appears when its button is clicked. Microsoft is encouraging Partners to write these web extensions to integrate into their upcoming Office suite. These will then be made available in the new Office 15 Marketplace. Consumers and business users will be able to discover and buy/download Agaves from this marketplace.

Inclusion of ‘Agave’ web extensions into Office 15 or MS Office 2012 will allow for deeper web integration and also help create an eco-system around upcoming Office 15. Developers will be able to build third-party ‘Agave’ extensions using technologies such as HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and REST in order to create such web extensions.

The expected completion date for the Concept Searching agave extensions is fall of 2012.
