The taxonomy was complex in nature, and the large number of records made the task difficult to undertake manually. In addition, the client requested that an evergreen process be established to classify new documents as they became available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Flare\u2019s Approach<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The client supplied over 87,000 pdf and xml files of conference proceedings and journal articles to Flare for auto-classification using its \u2019AutoTag\u2019 tool. The pdf files, containing the full text of the documents, and the xml files, containing the abstract titles, authors and selected metadata, were analysed using Flare\u2019s AutoTag tool \u2014 designed and refined over five years to automatically classify documents based on their contents. The client documents were crawled and then routed through the AutoTag tool to produce outputs in the form of the client taxonomic terms. The taxonomic terms were also weighted so that only the most relevant terms were taken forward into the client\u2019s external facing website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Special Note on AutoTag<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AutoTag is an automated tagging system designed to examine a set of documents, analyse their contents and tag them with relevant metadata. The tool is speeds up the long-winded process of examining a huge mass of materials (reports, maps, etc.) then tagging this material according to the linked taxonomies. The current version of AutoTag can interrogate many file types including common MS Office files, pdf as well as images files such as jpg, gif and tif.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Text is extracted from each file and an algorithm is employed to search for keywords described in the linked taxonomies. In addition to the text contained within each file, any additional potential sources of metadata are also interrogated, e.g. file paths or metadata held in MS office files. In the case of images, AutoTag uses an OCR module to extract text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The power of AutoTag is now available in O365 through Flare\u2019s Ava plug-in, or our clients can access AutoTag via the Sirus API<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/https:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/6722975\/Information%20Management%20During%20The%20Downturn.pdf?utm_medium=email&amp;_hsmi=120908554&amp;_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_kNQiA_k2eR7ezcoxISnHFqW0dP4UlLTMdf0dmzOnAB1zWHa-MrF84SsMGlQem-ZIrlKyzWAJ9KhnJamRvoNNgvgr75A&amp;utm_content=120908554&amp;utm_source=hs_automation\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"786\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/flare-solutions.com\/FS2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5044\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flare-solutions.com\/FS2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1-1.png 786w, https:\/\/flare-solutions.com\/FS2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1-1-300x95.png 300w, https:\/\/flare-solutions.com\/FS2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1-1-768x244.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 786px) 100vw, 786px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/https:\/\/www.flare-solutions.com\/book-a-meeting\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5045\" src=\"https:\/\/flare-solutions.com\/FS2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/2-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"786\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flare-solutions.com\/FS2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/2-1.png 786w, https:\/\/flare-solutions.com\/FS2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/2-1-300x95.png 300w, https:\/\/flare-solutions.com\/FS2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/2-1-768x244.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 786px) 100vw, 786px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Improve search with automatic classification augmented by rich taxonomies Project Outline Challenge A large organisation that specialised in the management and distribution of journals, conference papers and technical papers required its content to be mapped to a new custom taxonomy.
