RE: CG: Sonetto CG-based rule and search engine wins awards for Retail Affiliate Management

I'd be delighted for Gerard to be at ICCS 2007, which will indeed be held at www.shu.ac.uk on 22-27 July 2007 (further details
will be released after http://www.iccs-06.hum.aau.dk/ i.e. ICCS 2006, which I hope many of you will be able to get to as well). I
have contacted Gerard directly to congratulate him and to discuss ICCS 2007. Cheers, Simon (ICCS 2007 General Chair)

Thank you to all the kind responses. I expect we will put some whitepaper out shortly. Possibly some more formal publications as
well.
I have demonstrated an earlier version of Sonetto previously at ICCS in Germany a few years ago. I would like to demonstrate it at
ICCS again.

We use conceptual graphs as the representation for documents in our system, as well as category query definitions, rules and
schema information, pretty much everything. We have engineered the system based on a semantic search engine and ripple down rules
engine. The key thing is that rules and categories are defined over business documents by business users. No knowledge engineers
or IT assistance is required. The affiliates problem is one of building a semantic model for a product document from poor data,
then translating it into the categories and attributes of various affiliates: froogle, kelkoo, shopping.net, shopping.com, ebay,
yahoo etc. We manage to do this for large catalogues with minimal maintenance.

Regards, Gerard.

Gerard,

I'd like to add my congratulations to the current round of applause for your achievements.

And I also hope that we can see a more detailed white paper (or article) that tells people how CGs are being used for this work.

Perhaps you could put a short report on the Ivis web site and submit a more technical article for
ICCS'07 conference in Sheffield.

Tell Ivis management that it would be good publicity for them as well.  I'm sure that Ivis and the CG community have done more to
contribute to the success than MSFT.

John
