But all directories are not created equal. For example, there is a big difference between traditional “context-less” directories versus directories capable of “accumulating context.”
-
“Semantically Reconciled Directories” are Card Catalogs with improved context because synonyms are automatically accounted for. This means users looking for one thing (e.g., “Billy the Kid”) … automatically find other “same” things (e.g., “William Antrim,” one of his aliases). Semantically reconciled directories recognize when Document Attributes and/or Documents reference the same thing even though they are being described differently
-
“Semantically Reconciled and Relationship Aware Directories” is a type of Card Catalog which provides an even higher degree of enterprise context by allowing users to locate additional Documents, for example, those related by intimate association
-
This technology leverages such context for the real-time discovery of highly actionable alerts … in an effort to help focus an organization’s finite investigatory resources

For the moment let’s say that directories, indices and catalogs are all the same thing – a thing used to locate other things.
