Mohomine Inc Integrates Excalibur RetrievalWare

Excalibur Technologies, a leading provider of content management solutions for indexing and retrieving text, video and images on the Internet and intranets, and Mohomine Inc, a company that automates the process of finding, classifying and extracting information from the Internet, intranets or extranets, announced an OEM licensing and distribution agreement.

In addition, Mohomine has licensed the Excalibur RetrievalWare WebExpress product, an intelligent Internet search solution for premium Web sites that are dependent on quick, accurate and reliable search. Mohomine plans to search-enable its corporate Website with WebExpress.

Under the terms of the OEM licensing agreement, Mohomine is integrating Excalibur RetrievalWare, an intelligent, Web-based, high-performance search application, into its mohoPlatform. mohoPlatform combines machine learning with human judgment in a suite of applications so that customers can leverage topic specific knowledge to find, classify and extract digital information. A customized mohoPlatform is ASP-based and incorporates any combination of the following: mohoMiner; mohoClassifier; mohoExtractor; and mohoManager.

Originally tested and deployed on www.sourcebank.com, the mohoPlatform uses patent-pending algorithms to improve the precision and recall of topic-specific search results and directory navigation. Developed as an Application Service Provider (ASP) application, mohoPlatform integrates several innovative components for focused crawling, automated information extraction and taxonomy development. Mohomine customers recognize improved editorial and IT efficiencies from the automated process of finding, classifying and extracting content found on the Internet, portals, auction sites, intranets or extranets.

"You can stargaze all night and not know what you're looking at if you don't have the right tools." says Mohomine "Chief Moho" Neil Senturia. "Offering Retrievalware as the front-end search platform ensures that our customers have the right tools to automate the complete data mining process, from finding what they're looking for, to classifying and extracting what's been found."
