Enterprise Taxonomies and Thesauri provide the foundation for creating smarter search and discovery, building better navigation, and providing a means of standardizing the language used within organizations to describe what they do, the products and services they offer, and the content they wish to manage.
Enterprise Taxonomy Management
Welcome to Synaptica KMS version 9.0
Synaptica’s KMS term-based taxonomy management software is one of the longest standing Knowledge Organizations Systems (KOS) available. With a history going back 25 years, KMS is constantly evolving, and has long been recognized as an award-winning, innovative market leader by knowledge management professionals around the world.
Ease-of-Use and Rapid Deployment
Intuitive user and administrative interfaces along with speedy system configuration are hallmarks of the Synaptica KMS application. Once basic design details for a controlled vocabulary (taxonomy, thesaurus, authority file, etc.) have been defined, it is possible to set up and deploy a production system in under an hour.
Additional vocabularies can be created in a matter of minutes.
Flexibility and Functionality
Synaptica’s design ethos has always been to listen carefully to our users to create tools that simplify day-to-day tasks. Synaptica KMS provides screens and workflows optimized for the different jobs that taxonomy editors do. From simple search and navigation to the rapid editing of individual terms and relationships, from batch and drag-and-drop editing to cross-mapping distinct taxonomies, KMS provides a wide range of options for performing complex tasks with unparalleled ease.
Insightful Views and Reports
Comprehensive search, hierarchy navigation, and visualization displays provide new ways to explore how terms and vocabularies relate to one another.
Construct basic to complex queries with easy-to-use reporting tools and produce outputs in HTML, MS Word or Excel, or machine-readable RDF, XML, or CSV file formats.
API's and REST Web Services
KMS offers a full complement of APIs and RESTful Web Services to effortlessly integrate with external applications to help power search, navigation, indexing, and auto-classification. All editorial functionality available through the web-based interface may also be achieved via APIs, including the creation of new terms.
