Friendly: soft

Evri, a Seattle-based semantic-Web mission backed by Paul Allen s Vulcan Capital, has thrown open the doors on its beta place and on Evri s Garden, a sandbox for researchers and interested bystanders.

Formerly known as Hypertext Solutions, Evri s first doodad present in the Backyard is a pop-up that examines the vocabulary it finds significant generally nouns on a side and returns various related articles, images, and video, and but sufficient relatives are available a circle-and strut chart, viewing requisites with which a given expression has a close connection. An automatically generated table strength link, for example, Barack Obama with Joe Biden, or Beverly Hills with Ed McMahon, or Mariners with failure. I may have made that last one up. You can check for yourself on Evri s place or download the doodad for your own uses.

Like Google News, the search manner is entirely algorithm-driven, illustration its associations from a array of highly regarded information services, very nearly in real time. By parsing the semantics of the information it finds, Evri aims to provide better perspective than a search steam engine strength -- guiding you to, for instance, articles on Madonna the soloist rather than Madonna the religious figure. One of persons Madonnas is, by the way, Evri-linked directly to Check Clinton. Guess.

An early story of the search doodad originally saying sunshine at last May s All Possessions D conference. During his display there, Boss Neil Roseman, formerly VP of knowledge at Amazon, described the doodad s MO as search less, understand more.

I query whether Evri entirely understands my most profound search wants a check for the TV show Pushing Daisies passed backside on-point images, news, relatives and a Wikipedia-based show synopsis, but the copy photos of the show-inspired crochet afghan may have been a morsel random. Still, it works, and could add a little semantic sparkle to many a dull Network page.
