We often want what we can’t have. And that’s the problem—and the opportunity—presented by Big Data.
Computing now permeates every aspect of modern life. More data is being produced and collected every day, about everything from dating to DNA. Traditional storage, management, search, and analytic tools are overwhelmed. Yet the very reality of Big Data nearly guarantees that what we want to know is knowable—if we just had a way to find it.
Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the web, envisioned his invention as a means for collaboration—between people, facilitated by computers. As humans, we need a way to tap into the multidimensional connections that go far beyond simple text. With this power, we can leverage the power of modern computers and perform complex searches across concepts rather than just words.
At Code-N, we’re focusing on the possibilities of Big Data. We tame Big Data so that organizations can make Big Data work for them rather than against them. Now, you can be predictive rather than reactive, using data to spot the trends that fuel product pipelines, spur innovation, and unlock new sources of economic value.
Code-N’s foundational technology leverages collaboratively constructed Concept Clouds that contain semantic “triples” enriched with provenance, context, and community intelligence. The semantically supported engine crosses the chasm between numerous large, disparate datasets to make them interoperable and accessible. Targeted business applications, such as Code-N’s Green Field Finder, help humans in a variety of data-saturated industries (starting with the pharma) rapidly query and extract actionable information to validate hypotheses or explore the information space surrounding a concept.
