Paradigm Scientific Search Breaking down the barriers to information accessibility What it does Provides an easy to use interface requiring no specialized training. Uses the language of science to perform fast and accurate text and science object-based searches. Searches structured and unstructured information across data repositories. Retrieves only the most relevant results, filters them according to your area of interest, and ranks them by relevance. Offers a flexible navigation interface to enable visual refinement and organization of the search results including faceted browsing. How it works 1. Gathers information from repositories as collections of artifacts, which are logical units of unstructured and structured information. 2. Annotates those artifacts with descriptive objects, which can include core metadata and science objects. 3. Indexes the descriptive objects by creating fingerprint patterns. 4. Searches by using the information artifacts in conjunction with fingerprints and identifying those artifacts most relevant to the query.
How You can Benefit from Paradigm Scientific Search Paradigm Scientific Search provides scientists, analysts, and engineers with access to their science content, whether unstructured or structured. Users spend less time hunting for information and more time using information to make better evidence-based decisions. Find relevant information more effectively Access actionable organization-wide information rapidly. Receive automated alerts to internal and partner activities relevant to your work. Quickly find relevant information hidden in unstructured information.
Realize enterprise-wide improvements Paradigm Scientific Search Streamline innovation, development, and manufacturing support Avoid the time and resources lost through duplication of effort. Reduce information overload by aggregating and targeting just relevant information. provides benefits for everyone and at all levels of the enterprise Discover and validate unsuspected product and process relationships and confirm or disprove hypotheses by combining new information with existing experimental results and legacy information. Stimulate and facilitate collaboration between project teams and partners by timely sharing of information in accordance with security provisions. Senior corporate managers Decreases enterprise risk; increase productivity; eliminates duplication of effort. Business managers Extends the reach of information across sites and geography; waste less time looking for information. Scientists, analysts, and engineers Removes barriers and inability to find relevant information that may lead to the next important discovery or problem resolution. IT managers Centralizes information across data systems. Legal, regulatory, and risk management Faster responses to regulatory compliance inquiries by better access to regulatory data repositories; indexes information repositories without altering the underlying information and challenging its validation. Anticipate and manage project risks by exploring the historical information trail of similar projects.
SEARCHING LARGE, DIVERSE INFORMATION SILOS HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER Paradigm Scientific Search enables information access to enterprise information repositories by creating a searchable index of the data and content in laboratory instrument-based applications (chromatography data management systems), business applications (laboratory and document management systems), science applications (elab Notebook Software, scientific data management systems), and office applications (word processing, spreadsheets, file share software).

Paradigm Scientific Search lets you choose how you want to search your information including combining text and science-object searches: t ext/key words Searching by text/key words allows the most common type of search, using basic or advanced text query methods like Boolean operators. search-by-document Using the search-by-document feature allows you to search based on a reference document instead of key words. You can search by phrases, paragraphs, and whole documents, and perform a conversational search based on the meaning and content of the query document. digital image The powerful search by digital image capability makes it possible to find exact copies of or similar images based on a supplied image. chemical structure or chemical reaction You can choose to use a chemical structure or chemical reaction as the starting point for your search on the basis of exact, substructure, or similarity. analytical dataset Compose a search by analytical dataset such as chromatographic and spectral data. biological content as science objects The science-object search capabilities give you the power to search biological content as science objects such as biological sequences like DNA, RNA, or amino acids, drug formulations, or biological images such as gel images or microscopy images. extract valuable metadata Enriches the descriptive context of unstructured information by incorporating automated methods to recognize, understand, and extract valuable metadata from unstructured content. extract core metadata Performs extraction of core metadata from citations including titles, authors, affiliations, addresses, and abstracts.
