Two technological advances differentiate Surya from the rest. First, Surya’s text analysis and automated categorization is based on 2028’s Patented Automated Semantic Knowledge (ASK) technology. Designed to mimic human reading and analysis, ASK understands a document’s semantic relevance by identifying and analyzing the concepts and their relationships via innovative data representations, set algorithms, and heuristics. Just as the PageRank (Link Analysis) algorithm takes inspiration from the human heuristic of leveraging annotated references (links), ASK uses comparable insightful heuristics to dramatically improve intra-document analysis and search.

Secondly, Surya meta-data universal datastore, provides Surya a highly flexible, powerful infrastructure to store almost any datatype while enabling efficient searching of associated attributes. Combined with ASK, Surya bridges the gap between structured and unstructured information enabling both to be combined to provide a value greater than the sum of its parts.

In conjunction with highly scalable and robust datawarehouses such as Oracle and Postgresql, Surya facilitates innovative data storing, next generation search, and semantic user personalization of an enterprise.

Intelligent Concept-Based Searching and Browsing	Concept-based searching provides an intuitive way of finding relevant documents. Our concept maps give clickable links that show the main concepts contained in the document collections while providing an alternate way to drill down a search. Summaries and keywords are generated with results to help searchers better evaluate relevance.

Intelligent Pre-Processing
No Meta-Data or Other Content Pre-Processing	Surya dynamically adapts to reflect the changes in your content. You do not need to impose rigid structures or taxonomies that will inevitably need to be updated. There is no need for a content specialist or consultant to structure data for solutions to be implemented or effective.
Easy Maintenance and Installation	Surya Services require minimal human intervention. Our technology and industry compatible implementation frees you from the time and costs required for training sets, specialized hardware, and the required up-keep of other solutions.
Flexibility	Surya also easily interfaces with other applications and tools through the use of XML and RDF for fast integration with your current system and guaranteed compatibility with future investments.
Increased Customization Ability	Our administrative web interface lets you quickly and easily modify your system to fit your content and business needs. Modifying user permissions to differing collections, as well as changing the look of a results page is as easy as pointing and clicking.
Increase Productivity	Now all members of your company and others can quickly find the documents they need. Organization and integration of your content assets ensures that your documents will be available for all to make more informed decisions, using past work.
Decreased Costs	Our simple, effective implementation helps you eliminate unnecessary expenditures. Automated organization and a better approach to your content eliminates time wasted on training sets, tagging, and fruitless searches, letting you focus on more important tasks.
Facilitates Intercommunity Communication	People in different departments or geographic locations can easily submit and access information. No more wasted time tracking down colleagues or dealing with large attachments. APS allows you to easily share knowledge among your organization and with others.
Intelligent File Sharing and Retrieval	Since ASK organizes the files by concept, searchers do not have to know specific details such as the document's creation date or author; rather they just needs to know the ideas in the document, making file retrieval intuitive. APS also finds citations within documents and allows users to search the citations and documents or citations alone. APS automates the article submission and organization process. Organizing based on the concepts contained within the documents, we eliminate the need for a site administrator or other personnel to oversee the collection while still enabling easy file retrieval.
Control of Article Submission and Access	Our easy administrative web interface allows for creation of multiple collections. Each collection can have different access privileges. If desired, you can easily setup a workflow to allow approval of submissions before posting.
Efficient Solution for Sharing and Collaboration	APS provides efficient document storage, retrieval, categorization, and profiling solutions with the added benefits of quick and easy web publishing and document sharing. Employees have all the navigation tools they need to quickly find what they are looking for, meaning no more wasted time searching for documents, organizing data, waiting on other people, or backing up important materials.
Easy, Larger Outreach	Take advantage of online presence by linking the archive to a public website for view by the general public. Visitors can browse and search content using 2028's Navigation tools. There is no extra effort or time needed to make content available to others. As soon as the document is written and ready to post, instant web publishing is a couple of clicks away. No need to learn HTML or other web publishing techniques, giving you a fast turnaround time.
Self-Managed Online Document Archive System	2028's ASK technology dynamically evolves with additions of documents to reflect new concept relationships automatically. No special IT support is needed to implement or maintain our solution, making APS a cost-effective alternative to using personnel to organize and manage files.
Increased Productivity and Effectiveness for your Organization	Our simple, effective implementation helps you eliminate unnecessary expenditures on personnel or specialized hardware and software. Better organization of your content and easier sharing eliminates time wasted on fruitless searches and lets you focus on more important tasks. Now all members of your organization and others can more quickly and easily publish and share the documents they create.
No Technical Expertise Required	Posting information is as simple as saving a file. There is no need to learn HTML, other mark-up languages or new authoring methods. Users can upload common file types (Microsoft Word, TXT, PDF, PS).
Easy and Inexpensive Setup	The only setup needed is the actual submission of files-2028's Automated Semantic Knowledge (ASK) Technology does the rest.
