IDOL's Directed Navigation offers a way for organizations to integrate valuable information from structured databases with unstructured content. Combining information found within structured fields, such as product name, size or manufacturer, with unstructured content, such as product description, allows users to search and find products quickly and easily. For example, in an eCommerce environment, a customer looking for a specific wine can use a series of drop-down options, such as color, grape and year, to narrow down results and guide them to the product of their choice. By querying the engine with the name of a "directed navigation" field, customers are supplied with a list of all matching textual values found within stored documents. Using a customized user interface, this eCommerce core operation enables clients to gradually refine and validate queries from a complete corpus of data to the subset of documents that contain the most relevant information to their inquiry. Users can also combine directed navigation with IDOL's conceptual search abilities to ensure they always receive the most pertinent answers from the product base.
Parametric Directed Navigation & Autonomy for eCommerce
Real-time navigation across multiple taxonomies, including full access to intersections of diverse taxonomy definitions, requires no additional manual intervention, making directed navigation an extremely efficient retrieval system.
Key Benefits
Allows integration of structured content with unstructured
Improves user experience by ordering search results in a more intuitive way.
Extremely powerful tool for eCommerce catalog access. When selecting wine, for example, if a user has specified red, the system can automatically remove the chardonnay option
