Navigation for the Digital Universe
At The Confluence of several Federal IT Trends:
Drive to integrate silos XML adoption is underway Taxonomy & ontology development initiatives Great pressure to understand unstructured information Net-centricity, SOA, Web Services, GIG Lower TCO from commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software

Search Obscures Scope and Availability Enterprises have been unable to
use search to reveal the full scope of available digital assets
Focused on unstructured content,
not the full range of digital assets
Users are forced to know how to
ask for what they want
Human insights – which provide
context for what information is
useful and why - are lost

Navigation for the Digital Universe
Solution: Navigation for the Digital Universe Navigation provides context,
revealing the scope of what’s available
Once a user is able to see the scope of what’s available:
Everything digital becomes equally
accessible
Users get the big picture and drill
down more quickly to what they
want
Human insight can be leveraged to
provide context
