Scope completes a major controlled vocabulary project for leading global information provider

PRLog (Press Release) - Nov. 15, 2012 - Scope eKnowledge Center, a leading provider of content enhancement and knowledge services, has recently completed a review of an existing controlled vocabulary for Physics for a leading, global information provider. The assignment included a significant enhancement of the controlled vocabulary to nearly 11,500 preferred terms, with extensive hierarchies, non-preferred terms, associated relationships and scope notes.

Scope has over 25 years of experience in handling different kinds of content and information processing assignments in multiple domains, including engineering, physical sciences, technology, medicine, life sciences, and humanities. Each of Scope’s clients benefit from its more than two decades of experience and expertise in the information and research space, offering content development, repurposing, and enhancement services to the global information industry. Leveraging this experience, Scope has developed diSCOverTM, a group of services that enable publishers and other information providers to enhance the discoverability of and search precision for its content.

Tram Venkatraman, President of Scope, commented, “diSCOver, Scope’s suite of smart content solutions, employs Scope’s proven “assisted automation” approach that blends proprietary automation technology with intervention from subject domain experts to create solutions for its clients. Scope is very pleased to have completed a number of controlled vocabulary development and maintenance assignments for clients recently.”

Commenting on this most recent assignment, M.A. Eswaran, Senior Vice President, noted, “This was a fairly complex project, involving both a significant analysis of a fairly complicated database for the existing controlled vocabulary, as well as extensive external resources to ensure the robustness of the controlled vocabulary required by our client.”
