Reinventing Data Search: Opendatasoft and its Innovative Semantic Engine Powered by AI
In the field of open data portals, Opendatasoft, a pioneer in data management and sharing, has announced the launch of its revolutionary semantic search engine with support Artificial Intelligence. Conceived under a state-of-the-art vector structure, this advance promises to facilitate and accelerate the search process, allowing portal users to quickly locate data assets that respond to their specific interests. Such innovation aims to significantly increase both the use of data and its democratization.
In a world where data is recognized as a critical asset for organizational success, companies face the challenge of managing an overwhelming amount and diversity of information. This often results in difficulties for users to access relevant data assets, even when these are centralized in a portal. While the traditional search engines based on keywords usually offer results that are not very relevant or excessive, thus limiting the exploitation of data, especially by those who are not specialists, which in turn slows down the valorization of data exchange.
Opendatasoft aims to transform the experience of data portal users, making the process of sharing, locating and reusing information intuitive and seamless for everyone. The new AI-powered search engine overcomes limited search by literal keyword matching, delivering results that reflect a deep understanding of the intent and contextual meaning of searches. For example, a search on “gasoline” may reveal data assets related to related terms such as “fuel.”

This intelligent search engine also dives into metadata to enhance the chances of finding results that are aligned with users' queries. Optimize the discovery process by offering real-time suggestions as users type their searches, similar to the experience provided on e-commerce platforms. All of this converges to produce a more agile and accurate search, increasing user confidence in the relevance of the data assets they find.
The benefits for users are several:
● The productivity It is enhanced thanks to a faster and more effective search, minimizing the number of searches necessary.
● Content discovery becomes easier, regardless of the volume of data in the portal or the technical terminology used.
Data portal administrators will also find significant advantages:
● An increase in the use of data portals translates into better discoverability and an intuitive user experience.
● Management is simpler and faster, as there is no need to add countless synonymous keywords to improve the visibility of data sets.
"The Artificial Intelligence is opening new avenues for data democratization, as demonstrated by our innovative search engine. Implementing AI simplifies connecting users to the information they need, dramatically reducing search times and increasing productivity while providing more relevant results. This tool revolutionizes the user experience and data management, setting a new standard in efficiency,” comments Jean-Marc Lazard, CEO and co-founder of Opendatasoft. “We are marking a milestone in the use of AI and we anticipate more innovations throughout 2024,” the company leader concludes with vision.
