Content Management Server powered by Semantic Web Search 05/20/2012 Raj Kumaran Advisor: Prof. LixinTao
Problem Statement • Enterprise productivity is powered by Content Management server. • Content Management servers are powered by traditional search engines. • The limitations of the existing search engine hinders the agility of business. • Enhancing the search through semantic search will result in substantial productivity gain for the enterprise.
POC EnvironmentProduct stack • Apache Web Server • Drupal Content Management System • My SQL Database • Eclipse IDE + PHP Development Tool PDT
Drupal Development • Drupal's module system is based on the concept of "hooks". A hook is a PHP function. Each hook has a defined set of parameters and a specified result type. • To extend Drupal, a module need simply implement a hook. When Drupal wishes to allow intervention from modules, it determines which modules implement a hook and calls that hook in all enabled modules that implement it.
