Search is no longer confined to a box on the corner of a web page. It encompasses saved queries, shared queries, subscription filters and queries with visual components as part of dashboards. Formal knowledge structures built by experts are merging with informal structures shaped by the larger community. Where is it all going and how can we leverage new strategies for better information navigation within the enterprise? Learn how one organization is trying to create improved patterns of knowledge discovery by re-designing conventional search with new technologies in mind.
Jayne Dutra has worked at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for the last ten years, managing software development tasks in the areas of web content management, search and portals. She has worked on several search tasks and implemented a variety of enterprise search engines. After these experiences she concluded that no enterprise search effort would be truly successful without a foundation layer of information architecture and standardized metadata.
At that point, Jayne became interested in taxonomies. She subsequently worked on a Project Engineering Taxonomy for JPL space exploration teams and the development of the JPL Business Domain Taxonomy. Since 2002, she has also acted as the Technical Manager for the NASA Taxonomy.
Jayne currently serves as the Lead Enterprise Information Architect for JPL, and is heading up a new effort to implement Enhanced Search Services utilizing Semantic Web technologies and faceted navigation.
