What is Jumper
pioneering human powered search for the deep web.
Jumper is a Search 2.0 engine. It is a completely new approach to unifying information and knowledge. One that
combines everything of value in one search box. Jumper extends enterprise search capabilities across documents, images, databases,
web sites, and media - from both internal and external source systems - to deliver a complete view of the information landscape.
Jumper is a unique combination of many tools you are already quite familiar with such as Wikipedia, Delicious, and Amazon. Jumper combines
these tools in a new kind of enterprise search engine. It is based on an interactive, user-submitted indexing engine that delivers
visibility of the deep web or the disparate divisions and departments of your organization.
> Like Wikipedia, Jumper allows end users to become contributors and editors of the service so that they can create,
edit, and manage tag profiles. These tag profiles reference any distributed content, media, or data. Users create a brief one or two
paragraph description similar to what you find in Wikipedia that describes the information resource.
> Jumper allows users to tag any information resource with keywords just like you can with Delicious (although
without the plugin). Jumper allows users to tag information with much more than keywords. Our expanded and customizable knowledge tags
deliver the who, what, when, where, and why knowledge about the information.
> Jumper delivers a comment and rating system that is very similar to what you find in Amazon. Users provide
comments about the information resource to give the search results relevance and context. They can rate and rank the information based
on its importance or value.
How is Jumper Different?
empowering data with knowledge
Companies have learned that there is much more to knowledge transfer than in the past. They have seen their
competitors leap ahead by using technology and sound knowledge transfer principles (newly re-discovered) to create dynamic collaborative
environments that deliver knowledge strategically--when and where it is needed and to the people who need it--at the front line where the
client solution is being invented. Jumper allows users to search the deep web and the distributed enterprise by empowering these very
same users in a collaborative initiative using a social medium in a completely new way to share the collective knowledge of a far flung
workforce.
How can Jumper Help?
connecting everything - information, ideas, knowledge, experience
Managing information, not just searching for it, is the next monumental challenge facing the Internet age. Information
is created and distributed in different media and formats, stored and presented in different systems, represents different value and
worth to each user, and thus creates challenges for truly effective and efficient search across different formats, platforms, and
locations.
Search alone cannot meet this challenge. With increasing volumes of information comes growing complexity. It is this complexity that is
critical to managing the information explosion. Something that is complex has many interconnected, interacting parts - ideas, insights,
experience, expertise, etc - how can we understand, much less manage, complex exchanges of knowledge and value related to information?
The exploding volumes of information demand new tools, new ways of diminishing complexity, of filtering information, pulls together
all the interacting threads, and deliver value in the search results that is unique to each user. Jumper is that search engine.
