Web Summarizer and mind mapping on the iPad

Monday, August 30th, 2010

One of the advantages of cloud services is the ability to access your information over the web from any device, any operating system and any browser. This provides great flexibility and eliminates many barriers on using and sharing information.

Context Discovery specializes in bringing summarization solutions to empower users by converting web pages and documents into instant summaries. You can think about summarization as document search engine instantly pointing you to the most relevant information.

Recently we deployed the Web Summarizer for our beta users. The Web Summarizer offers summarization of web pages and creation of knowledge repositories. Another feature is to provide mind mappers the ability to convert web pages and documents into mind maps.

When recently Brian Friedlander started to use iPad, he tested it with the Web Summarizer. First he accessed the Web Summarizer application and created summaries on the iPad. And secondly he created mind maps from the summaries. Since Mindjet MindManager does not offer yet an iPad version the mind map was automatically created using iThoughstHD.

For details you can check Brian’s excellent blog: Context Summarizer on the iPad

If you would like to learn more about the summarization technologies please download Context Organizer for free today.

Context Organizer is available in English, French, German and Spanish.

The ability to transform data into insights

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

The recent article by McKinsey addresses the challenges the Chief Information Officers face in managing corporate information and knowledge.

The ability to transform data into insights to help manage a company is the domain of corporate business intelligence, which consists of the processes, applications, and practices that support executive decision making.

It’s a challenging mission because for all the data flowing through companies, executives often struggle to find the information they need to make sound decisions.

At the heart of these difficulties are inadequate executive information systems, supposedly designed to help top management easily access pertinent internal and external data for managing a company.

We can all relate to the magnitude of this problem. The sheer volume of information itself has become a challenge and managing this vast pool of information is another challenge. And then is the crucial issue of dynamic and contextual access to information across corporate systems.

* This mind map was produced using Comapping online collaborative mapping software with Context Organizer automatic summarization.

Using Context Organizer text mining with Comapping

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Text mining is a powerful companion for mind mappers and knowledge workers.

For mind mappers the automatic summaries instantly become map topics and the relevant context clearly articulates the meaning of the map topics.

The automated map generation drastically shortens the process of mapping. Once the initial map is generated then the user can concentrate on analysing and shaping of the map.

The power of summarization is instant extraction of the most important keywords together with the context. Context provides both interpretation and a powerful note taking facility.

Brian Friedlander of Assistivetek conducts here a live demo of how Context Organizer web server generates mind maps for Comapping users. You instantly extract the critical information from voluminous web pages and documents and turn them into mind maps.

Mind mapping with Context Organizer text mining is fast, simple and effective

The summarization is driven by Context Organizer knowledge mining engine. The results are handed over to MindManager and Comapping as an XML file that is automatically rendered as a mind map.

Context Organizer is available in English, French, German and Spanish.

Context Organizer generates mind maps for Comapping

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

Brian Friedlander from Assistive Technology writes:

I guess the real "aha" moment is the creation of a knowledge map with a couple of clicks of the mouse.

Brian relates the "aha" moment to the fact that a web page or a document can be instantly converted into a mind map. The automatic map generation is driven by a powerful text mining product from Context Discovery.

Keywords and summaries are accurately extracted and the mind mapping software renders them into a map.

The automatic map generation frees the user from time-consuming map charting while providing more opportunity to focus on shaping and editing the visually mapped information.

Providing accurate and concise presentation of the original text’s most important points speeds up the mind mapping process.

Summarization is a powerful add-in to the knowledge worker’s toolbox.
