The Technology

The combination of search together with our semantic and statistical text-mining technologies is how Silobreaker is able to serve up its search results in so many different ways – and across content types - enabling you to navigate and analyse without the need for keyword-based queries.

Silobreaker’s technical platform

Silobreaker combines advanced data fusion, search and relational analysis technologies, with interactive web-based user tools and explanatory visualisations. The technology is built with a single purpose in mind; to provide meaning, insight and dynamic decision support to our users regardless of the information types at hand. Users get the full range from a technology platform that is capable of answering high-end, time-sensitive, and business-critical questions as well as general interest questions.





The technology has been developed and built from the ground up and is the extension of a thesis written by two of the founders while at university finishing their degrees in Computer Science. The technology IP has been gradually developed since 2002 and had its first commercial application in 2005.

The benefits

The difference between Silobreaker and traditional search engines have a huge impact on what the user has to spend time on to complete his or her task. While traditional search engines put the burden on the users to first work out what query to ask in order to get the response they think they want, and then to dissect the search result in order to extract entities and understand concepts, Silobreaker does much of that work for its users who instead can spend time on exploring new information and learning from it.
