Roger Doherty posted a blog “Looking for a Killer SQL Server 2012 demo?” last Wednesday that included info on the PASS keynote, semantic search and mysemanticsearch.codeplex.com and some other cool stuff that looks pretty good. The codeplex tool:
allows a user to upload Word documents into a SQL Server 2012 table, then visualize the semantic content of the documents in it using tag clouds that are automatically built by semantic search. The user can then find similar documents by comparing their tag clouds.
Pretty interesting for collecting disparate data via an app and then analyzing it.
Other links include FILESTREAM, FileTables, Full-text search, and semantic search. This is all really neat stuff and sort of related; a scenario might be that you can continue storing data in SQL Server as blobs, but now you have a FileTable to store the hierarchical relationship in SQL Server and interact with the Windows file system, and with semantic search, actually use TSQL in an expanded way beyond full-text search to query documents stored in SQL Server.
