Benefits of technology

Enables users to retrieve and present information based on relationships, improving the relevance and usability of search results by exposing connections between objects, thus aligning with human thought processes and enhancing information retrieval efficiency.

Problems solved by technology

Although effective to locate documents including the keywords, keyword-based searches require that the searcher use the right keywords in order to retrieve the desired information and are likely to return too much information.
Because the desired information (e.g., the other person's name) typically do not share keywords with the known information (e.g., the name of the restaurant), keyword-based searches cannot locate the desired information in such scenarios.
