Products
NetworkedPlanet’s suite of products allow organisations to make the most of the international ISO standard, Topic Maps. Our focus is on using concept-based content classification to make content more findable and portal sites more navigable.
The Topic Map Advantage
Topic Maps provide a standard way to represent knowledge and classification structures of all kinds. They can be used to model structures such as hierarchies, thesauri and faceted classification schemes, but can equally be used to represent complex domain models with strongly-typed semantic links.
NetworkedPlanet’s tools and products make it easy to define knowledge structures in topic maps and even to store multiple hierarchies or thesauri in the same topic map. Our simple schema tools allow experts to create a domain-specific knowledge model that can then be used to drive easy-to-use interfaces for content classification, search and browsing.
For Developers
TMCore is the premiere toolkit for developers on .NET looking to harness the full power of Topic Maps in their applications. Built from the ground-up using .NET technologies, TMCore provides a flexible set of APIs and builds on the robustness, scalability, performance of Microsoft's SQL Server.
The NPCL Schema Editor is a free plugin for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 that allows developers to create the ontology for a topic map application. The topic map ontology acts like a schema; defining what kinds of topics users can create and what ways they can be linked together.
For EPiServer™...
The TMCore EPiServer Module adds concept-based findability and navigation to the award-winning EPiServer Web Content Management System.
Site navigation and content classification can be entirely driven from topic map structures defined by the site architect. The EPiServer Module also provides ASP.NET components that can be quickly integrated into EPiServer content templates, bringing the power of concept-based navigation and search directly to the end-users.
EasySearch is a new, inexpensive way to add full text search to EPiServer websites. It can be installed and configured in moments, integrates directly with the EPiServer event model and provides high-performance full-text search features on any EPiServer web site.
For SharePoint™...
Networked Planet's TMCore SharePoint Module integrates concept-based classification into a Microsoft SharePoint site or portal. Administrators or librarians can create their own organisation or domain specific classification schemes and knowledge structures. Users can classify almost any type of SharePoint content against those structures, unifying content across multiple SharePoint sites and even across multiple portals. The SharePoint Module also provides a set of interacting Web Parts that can be used to add intuitive concept based search and browse functionality to SharePoint.
