Three major hurdles challenge the access of relevant scientific information within a laboratory-focused organization:
- Information is captured in non-interoperable data silos (LIMS, CDS, File Servers, Sharepoint, etc.).
- Much of the truly useful information is based on science objects (chemical structures, chromatograms, biological sequences).
- Captured information is typically unstructured in the form of written reports.
Scientific Search provides an opportunity to overcome these barriers by locating information across an organization so that scientists, analysts, and engineers can better leverage the information contained within their organization's data silos to make better decisions and avoid duplicating previous work. This webinar will provide an overview of how scientific search technology works and demonstrate its benefits.
Attendees will learn more about:
- The three challenges preventing science-based organizations from accessing their organization's data and information.
- The difference between structured and unstructured information.
- Scientific Search as a technology that can search across isolated information silos, perform searches based on science objects, and search within both structured and unstructured information.
