When applied to Internet searches, semantic technology delivers results oriented to what people seem to be seeking instead of simply matching words used to online content.
For example, a semantic online search for "melancholy songs with birds" would know to link sadness in lyrics with various species of birds.
Cognition's semantic map is already used in a LexisNexis Concordance "e-discovery" software to sift through documents amassed during evidence phases of trials.
"We help them find the needle in a haystack," Jarus from Cognition.com said.
"It used to be boxes and boxes of paper and now 80 percent of it is digital. Lawyers can search for a smoking gun within that discovery material."

Jean-Philippe Pastor: E-discovery in litigation is very expensive, and a great deal (money, liberty, civil rights) can be at stake in e-discovery. E-discovery is giving enterprises incentive to maintain better e-mail archives. Well-organized archives facilitate good semantic analysis. --Ben http://legal-beagle.typepad.com/wrights_legal_beagle/2008/09/new-evidence-rule-502-deals-advantage-to-e-mail-archival-systems.html
