Cog Blog

Another mention for Cognition in RedOrbit.com:

Another semantic search technology vendor also entered the health space: Cognition Technologies, Inc. introduced Semantic MEDLINE, a free service that lets users employ a natural, conversational sentence structure to search the MEDLINE database. It uses Cognition’s Semantic Map technology to “understand” the meaning behind words, phrases, and idioms.

The most interesting part of the article to me were the survey stats by Trampoline Systems:

Trampoline Systems, a provider of enterprise social intelligence tools, studied enterprise social networking, surveying 111 businesses in the U.S. and the U.K. The company’s research revealed that 88% of businesses are eager to start using social networking, although many are looking for more business functionality than in consumer social networks. Some key findings include the following:

* Eighty-four percent of businesses reported that social networking would help with sharing knowledge and expertise with colleagues across the organization and 68% would like help with finding relevant specific information.

* Sixty-nine percent want to interact with colleagues they don’t know.

Cognition’s Semantic Map can play a key role in social networks and collaboration.  I’ll write more on that soon.

I just found this blog post today on CODE-itch written by a “Biochemist and protein X_ray crystallographer” who found Cognition’s Semantic MEDLINE helpful.

A few searches later, I can definitely say the technology that drives “Medline Cognition” works and works extremely well.

On Code-itch’s About page, he writes:

Great software can enable great science and code-itch is my hope that I can participate in the process.

We agree and thanks for writing about Cognition.
