An organization’s value today depends not only on the amount of information it has acquired over the years, but how it can access, recover, reuse and govern this content successfully. In addition, getting a job done involves working with the right people, so it is important to be able to find subject matter experts based on their knowledge and contacts.

RTI International is an independent institute that provides research, development, and technical services to government and commercial clients worldwide to improve the human condition by turning knowledge into practice. Over its 50 year history, RTI has worked on thousands of projects resulting in a vast repository of deliverables such as reports, proposals and other documents. The organization, however, wanted to improve rapid and accurate access to this mass of output in order to:

improve the quality, cost-management, and ultimate success of its new business pitches;
avoid the repetition of work already done; and
identify relevant experts for current bids and projects.

To meet this challenge, RTI International turned to Smartlogic’s Content Intelligence for Knowledge Acquisition & Reuse Solution.

Join us for this free webinar where Diglio Simoni, RTI International, Jeannine Bartlett, Earley & Associates, and Toby Conrad, Smartlogic discuss the following:

What Content Intelligence Solutions are and how to effectively use them to enhance your information systems (content management systems like SharePoint, OpenText, Documentum, etc & search systems like Google, MSFAST, Solr, etc) with navigational taxonomies, ontologies and automated classification
How RTI has successfully used Content Intelligence for Knowledge Acquisition and Reuse
How to design Content Intelligence solutions with feedback from users to achieve the desired goals & interesting lessons learned during this process.

Jeannine Bartlett

VP & Chief Solutions Architect , Earley & Associates

Jeannine helps clients gain competitive advantage by successfully leveraging information architecture with a keen understanding of emerging technologies, market dynamics, customer needs, pragmatic implementation approaches and financial viability. She has over 20 years of experience leading research and development, market requirements, user-accessible interface design and corporate strategy at both start-up and public companies, spanning enterprise search and discovery, security and compliance, data-driven marketing, Rich Internet Applications, data warehousing technologies and other products and services.

Jeannine is the architect of Earley & Associates’ SIX Metrics™ Framework for measuring search and taxonomy ecosystem impact on end user search experience, and is based on years of experience designing, developing and implementing search platforms and applications, both structured (relational and non-relational DBMSs and data warehouse platforms) and unstructured (semantic classification, NLP and visualization for Internet and document indexing, search and discovery). Her work with metrics goes back to the early ‘90s as a charter member of the Quality Assurance Institute.

She is also the architect behind Earley & Associates Content Choreography™, a methodology and framework for planning, composing, organizing and publishing content and creative assets for dynamic presentation and search using taxonomy and metadata.

Diglio Simoni

Senior HPC Scientist , RTI International

Diglio Simoni is a senior HPC [High Performance Computing] scientist in the Research Computing Division at RTI International. He began his career working with the Hypercube group (SAR Image Processing) at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, worked in the Virtual Wind Tunnel project (Virtual Reality) at NASA Ames Research Center, and spent a decade in industrial.

His academic training is in computer science, life sciences, neuroscience, physics, and mathematics. Simoni specializes in the use of technologically advanced methodologies, especially HPC, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Natural Language Processing (NLP), advanced visualization techniques, and web-based solutions for the design and implementation of a wide variety of projects in scientific data manipulation, analysis and interpretation. These projects include back-end database system design and connectivity for real-time transactions, specification and analysis of bandwidth requirements, and the design and implementation of efficient user interfaces, including those that deliver ontology-driven faceted search capabilities.

He currently serves as senior computational scientist in the Models of Infectious Disease Agent Study (MIDAS) for the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), where he provides computational support for scientific needs in HPC, including the design and development of advanced visualization tools and the parallelization of large agent-based simulation codes for a network of research groups in the US and the UK.

Simoni has led teams of software developers and biostatisticians in developing bioinformatics tools and is involved in many aspects of system development, including requirements analysis, object-oriented analysis and design, configuration management, and programming. He is a technical visionary with a wide breadth of expertise and interests.
