Turns out, that's good training to be a professional knowledge seeker. Evelyn's successful careers in journalism and professional writing turned her need to know into a fine-edged tool to explain the why of life to others. With these advanced skills, she performs text analytics, builds knowledge graphs and complex semantic models and helps professionals organize metadata into meaning. Don't worry ... she still asks why, only now she supplements this with how – because she knows context is king. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f9d23b0b37510edb54009/1587699176061-U3KDKVYNVARIT95GQY9G/lprofile2.jpg Team - Dr. Louis Glassy, technology adviser Dr. Lou Glassy is a computer science generalist with a broad knowledge encompassing both the theoretical and practical aspects of computing. He has 20 years of experience in computing, research and development, and teaching.

Applying the precision and nuances of law to all of the crazy we encounter among humanity made Leah a perfect fit for sussing out what people actually mean when they use a particular phrase. Clients love having her on the team because she can see things everyone else misses and brings a sense of humor to complicated problems. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f9d23b0b37510edb54009/1610071592524-6LYFA8E1AF9U94PX5YPY/kayaking+woman.jpg Team - Erin Haske, AEP, RMT, ontologist Erin’s career in exercise physiology ably demonstrates her ability to teach people things they didn't know they needed to know and to motivate them to do things that didn’t want to do. She uses her extensive mental library of exercise, food, massage, and mindfulness knowledge to tailor health plans for individual clients. Suffice it to say, Erin knows, in intimate detail, how to find the details that are important to a specific situation. She brings this invaluable skill to building ontologies. https://bacontreeconsulting.com/services daily 0.75 2021-01-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f9d23b0b37510edb54009/1588196584377-R5ACH053ANFTKPUQ4DFD/pexels-photo%2B%25281%2529.jpg Services - text analytics Who has time for text? It's hard enough using data these days. We keep so much data – and it has to be stored somewhere in some format and in a way that we can use with all of our other data. Text is even messier. Text mining can tell you how frequently terms are used across documents. Entity extraction can tell you who, what, when, and where. Natural language processing can help … you get the idea. But if you want to know what your text is talking about, you're going to need to spend a little time with it. That's where we come in. At Bacon Tree, we know how important text is to understanding what is happening inside of your organization. We know that you need to be able to find, use and discover connections in your content, long after it is first produced. We know that you shouldn't have to perform multiple searches for three words that mean the same thing. Words need context for meaning. We'll spend hours with your content to find the meaning in your words. We'll use that to create a semantic model for you or to give you data for your machine learning models. We understand content. We understand words — and how to help you extract all of the business value you can from both. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f9d23b0b37510edb54009/1587936786261-08V5ZDBK6IE6TYU146LV/iphone-photography-landscape+3.jpg Services - get ready for digital transformation Digital transformation is the process of adding modern IT capabilities to a business so that it can respond effectively to changes in the marketplace. It is so important to the continued health of businesses worldwide that it could be worth $18 trillion globally in added business value, Gartner says. The stakes are high — and even more so as the world evolves to more online delivery of services. It's no exaggeration to say that digital transformation requires a fundamental rethinking of how a company uses data and technology, and each transformation project starts with a strategy. At Bacon Tree, we believe that process starts with defining how metadata will be used — and that in doing so, you'll discover the real value in your data, people, and products. Agility is the end goal — the ability to respond quickly and effectively to external and internal forces and remain a healthy, successful organization. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f9d23b0b37510edb54009/1587936148770-TIZSQK5F4H3Q4K8A5PX5/tech-meeting-flatlay2.jpg Services - a different approach to metadata management Data is like the things that you stuff into that one closet where everything falls out when you open the door. It doesn't have to be a jumble; your closet likely started out as organized. But as you add stuff to it, you don't want to take everything out to make new things fit. So you shove it in, quickly close the door, and hope for the best. And then … you need something in the closet. You have to do it. You have to open the door, let stuff fall out, rummage around for the thing you need, grab it and run. What happens when you're done with the thing ? How do you put it back in? Do you even put it there or does it now live on the garage floor because you can't face the closet? Sometimes, we do the same thing to data. It starts out cleanly organized, but as we add more and need to use it in different ways, it's harder to get at and more difficult to use. The answer is managing data differently. We at BTC help you create a system that lets you leave data in place while being able to access and use it from other systems and processes. At the heart of this strategy is robust metadata that adds context so that other systems – and people! – understand your data better. Data and its metadata get pulled into a centralized hub so that you can ask questions across systems and get complete answers; search for and create products that use data in different systems; and modify data as needed, while making it available to other systems in real time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f9d23b0b37510edb54009/1587764529202-4P1JGJXVR3ZDWN6ABS75/hand-doodle-on-grid.jpg Services - semantic modeling We are experts at building taxonomies and ontologies that organize, increase findability of, and enhance search of enterprise content. Those taxonomies and ontologies are often used to auto-classify content and help manage metadata that drive text analytics and quality search results. https://bacontreeconsulting.com/home daily 1.0 2025-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f9d23b0b37510edb54009/1587693846991-570EMTAYWTS019LTBHVG/people-office-group-team.jpg Home - Are you ready for the next big thing? Do you want to crush the digital world? You need quality metadata to do it. Bacon Tree creates metadata with something that is often missing — human insight. There are a lot of tools that extract information, analyze text, and add metadata automatically. It sounds almost effortless. But if you’re getting results that are not specific to your line of work or that aren’t quite on point, you probably are spending a lot of time tuning things. At Bacon Tree, we invest the time in your data and content to create metadata that provides context for data processing. This process is the fuel for digital transformation projects; provides materials for machine learning data sets; ferrets out the meaning of your content through text analytics; and is the basis for taxonomies, ontologies, and semantic models for classification and better search. https://bacontreeconsulting.com/contact daily 0.75 2020-07-24 https://bacontreeconsulting.com/transportation-text-analytics daily 0.75 2020-04-28 https://bacontreeconsulting.com/media-text-analytics daily 0.75 2020-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f9d23b0b37510edb54009/1588096278213-JZCOCC87KWEUGS33TWYE/tca+story+formatting.png Media text analytics project https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f9d23b0b37510edb54009/1588096423397-SNTMZAV40JCD0FY7X1RD/tca+iptc.png Media text analytics project https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f9d23b0b37510edb54009/1588096555379-P2LKQQH6G62P5UQKSLRS/tca+taxo.png Media text analytics project https://bacontreeconsulting.com/metadata-hub daily 0.75 2021-01-11 https://bacontreeconsulting.com/home-1 daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cdb0b54755be25d5d92bfb3/1559252207571-LZCNVW6ZFPOBOLJS7EC4/image-asset.jpeg Home - Continuing Education for Teachers We create bespoke continuing education programs to address the needs of teachers and their student communities.
