Applications of the Syntactica natural language processing Web Services are quite broad. Consider the following applications:

Suppose you run a search engine and want to improve the presentation of the pages users get when they make search queries. Currently, you reproduce only the first few lines of content within the Web site that match user’s queries. This is not efficient for users because they often can’t evaluate whether or not a given site closely matches what they want from the first few lines of content. What is needed, is WEB SERVICES that will scan the content of the site and produce a quick abstract. Then, instead of presenting the first few lines of content under the link for a search result, the abstract is presented. In this way, users don’t have to click multiple sites and repeatedly hit the Back button when they are disappointed by the sites’ contents.

By plugging Syntactica into the front end of the search engine, you can develop a competitive advantage: Users will prefer the site because they will more quickly and easily find the information that closely matches their search queries.

1) Syntactica could also be a MS Word plug-in that allows users to create back of the book indexes or abstracts of any MS Word document by simply running the Syntactica MS Word Macro.

2) You could also plug Syntactica into the back end of the search engine, the engine itself could more accurately return results that match user’s queries. Because the abstracts will do a better job of determining the relevance of a site to a search string, search results will be more relevant to users, which is the ultimate competitive advantage for search engines.

XML Services using the Syntactica WEB SERVICES are available at http://ws.syntactica.com/syntactica.asmx

3) Syntactica could also be a browser plug-in that allows users to see a site’s abstract simply by mousing over its search result.  A beta version named Syntactica iReader is available at http://www.syntactica.com/download_ireader.html

4) Syntactica could enable the content creation process by plugging into a suite of Web tools in which developers create and code Web content. Running Syntactica enables them to create front-end pages that drive traffic to the content, to check the content they have created for translatability and relevance, among other things.

Syntactica could be embedded into a PDF reader, enabling researchers to read abstracts or executive summaries of PDF documents, rather than needing to scan the whole document.

These are just a few of the useful applications that could be derived from using the Syntactica Web Services.
