The AGROVOC Thesaurus has been incorporated within the Tropes Zoom Semantic Search Engine.
AGROVOC is a multilingual, structured and controlled vocabulary designed to cover the terminology of all subject fields in agriculture, forestry, fisheries, food and related domains (e.g. environment).
This work has been carried out in partnership with United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the CIRAD, an Agricultural Research Centre working for international development.

The AGROVOC Scenario is free for Tropes Zoom registered users.

An application of Semantic analysis in Architecture.
On holidays in France? Then go to the Centre Georges Pompidou, the giant Arts center located in the Beaubourg district of Paris, and see the Morphosis exhibition. It contains a magnificent 3D semantic graph synthesizing the texts of the Morphosis group, the famous American architecture agency. The result of analysis comes from Tropes Zoom, our Semantic Search Engine. If you can't go to Europe now, just wait until 2007: the Morphosis Exhibition is moving to Los Angeles, next year.

Happy Birthday: Tropes software is 10 years old!

Version 1.0 of Tropes was launched in November 1994 and could analyze a novel within one minute. This first version was followed in 1995 by Tropes Documentary, our first Semantic Search Engine (which was afterward replaced by Tropes Zoom). Imagine: semantic analysis was an unknown field at this time. Our software today works in six languages, is marketed all over the world and benefits from 10 years of experience in Semantics.

Acetic announces Tropes Zoom V6.2

There are so many changes that we could have called it V7:

1. Addition of a function of Search for Similar Texts (from a controlled vocabulary) in Zoom Semantic Search Engine. This tool enables bypassing of anecdotal vocabulary so that the software focuses on the main topic. A function "Search for a text similar to this" that works well, is a real novelty. To speed your searches for analogies in patents, detection of plagiarisms, evaluation of skills, comparative analysis of press articles, etc.
   
2. Addition of a Report Writer in Tropes and Zoom: Microsoft Excel© can be used very easily to generate analysis reports (containing tables and graphs) from Tropes or from Zoom. Results stemming from this module are designed to be easily understood by anyone (and in particular by your managers).
   
3. Integration of the majority of files used in office automation and on Internet (seven new file formats are recognized: Acrobat PDF©, Microsoft Excel© and Powerpoint©, Macromedia Flash©, Microsoft Outlook© (as a utility) and Unicode UTF-8).
   
4. Zoom Semantic Search Engine also benefits from New Statistical Functions : counting of files by subject on the whole database, statistic filtering of the significant branches of the Scenario, etc.
   
5. Optimized search engine for Zoom which makes its requests four times faster than the previous versions.
   
6. New generation of dictionaries and Scenarios enabling better analyses (see our February announcement).
   
7. And many other modifications to make life easier for all our users.
   

The Tropes Zoom suite benefits at the same time from a non-specialized Semantic Search Engine on the workstation, a powerful Natural Language Processing and Text Analysis tool capable of indexing practically all the significant documents of a company in standard form.

A free update version to Tropes or Zoom V6.2 will be sent to all our customers who have purchased our software in the last year– at Acetic, fair trade is standard practice! You may think that this is normal, but just look at what some other companies do...
