See conference video - http://www.lucidimagination.com/devzone/events/conferences/revolution/2011 SaaS applications have the advantage of remote web deployment that can be instantaneously be used by potentially any consumer in internet, or of the cost reduction that a Web-based deployment provides. The speaker explains in this talk the architecture of an innovative SaaS solution built for Axel Springer media group (Switzerland). This application can extracting remotely the content of multiple online newspaper articles, analyze them and classify them, determining which articles are the most similar to a given one, and integrating back into the article to provide the user with a “related articles” feature. The core components of the analysis process are: language-specific tools (used to filter the superfluous language terms) and semantic knowledge bases (like Wikipedia, used to enrich the indexed information with new context specific terms, or to disambiguate the extracted terms). In a more technical layer, the speaker will explain the criteria to select the emerging enterprise search framework Apache Solr as platform and how it reduced drastically the development effort required.
