This update bridges the gap between global language support and pinpoint search precision, all while aligning our core applications under the new Graphwise brand.
The release of PoolParty 10.2 is a strategic step in our transition toward the future Graphwise Platform. While we are busy building a more integrated ecosystem, this release addresses two critical needs for the modern global enterprise: the ability to process knowledge in any language and the precision to find specific data points in an ocean of information.
A unified identity under the Graphwise brand
Following the merger of Ontotext and Semantic Web Company, we are officially bringing the Graphwise identity to our core products. It is more than just a fresh coat of paint; it is about providing a professional, integrated experience as you move between tools.
In this first phase of the rollout, you will notice a refreshed look for the log-in page, the Linked Data (LD) frontend, and the core Graph Modeling component (formerly known simply as the PoolParty suite). While the “PoolParty” name remains for this version, these visual updates prepare the groundwork for our evolution into the unified Graphwise Platform.
Your knowledge graph, now fluent in over forty languages
For years, many enterprise systems were “English-first,” requiring custom, high-maintenance workarounds for scripts like Japanese or Chinese. That ends with PoolParty 10.2. We have re-implemented our concept tagging engine using a native Lucene-based architecture.
- Native multilingual support: Graphwise now supports over 40 languages natively, including Japanese, Chinese, Russian, and most European languages. No need for external “word form” files.
- Zero-touch indexing: Previously, users had to manually “Refresh the Extraction Model” whenever a taxonomy changed. Now, the extraction model is automatically rebuilt on the first request. It simply works in the background.
- Reduced complexity: By leveraging Finite State Transducers (FSTs), we have removed the dependency on external services for lookup logic. This means high-speed tagging with significantly less infrastructure overhead.
Whether you are managing technical manuals in German or news snippets in Japanese, your taxonomy is now a global asset that detects and links concepts with native-level fluency.
Precision when it matters: find the needle in the haystack
In research-heavy sectors like Pharmaceuticals, a search for a project code like “TAK-123” shouldn’t return every document containing the number “123.” Standard search engines often return broad, noisy results for queries.
The new Exact Phrase Matching in GraphSearch makes the life of data analysts a lot easier:
- Pinpoint accuracy: You can now toggle exact matching via the API, ensuring that multi-word queries are treated as a contiguous phrase rather than a collection of individual words.
- Flexible ranking: Choose between a “Mandatory” filter (only show exact matches) or a “Ranking Boost” that pushes exact matches to the top while still showing related content.
- Alphanumeric intelligence: We’ve optimized the system to handle complex identifiers and technical terms that involve hyphens or special characters, ensuring they aren’t fragmented during analysis.
Simpler workflows for developers and admins
We’ve also cleaned up the “plumbing” to make life easier for the teams running PoolParty:
- Unified Tagger API: We have consolidated several legacy endpoints into a single, high-performance
/api/tagendpoint. - Efficient multi-document handling: Whether you are uploading a ZIP file for aggregate analysis or sending multiple files for individual results, the process is now streamlined and more predictable.
What this means for you
PoolParty 10.2 is about making your semantic operations more robust and easier to use on a global scale. It removes the friction of manual indexing, eliminates the “noise” in your search results, and provides a clear, unified interface that reflects our shared future as Graphwise.
