New York, New York - (Website Hosting Directory) - June 16, 2008 - Over 10 million PubMed Abstracts, in order to enable users to find credible health information easier and faster, have been added by search engine, hakia.
PubMed is a medical database maintained by the U.S. National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health. Using its advanced QDEX technology and semantic capabilities, hakia makes it easier to find current and historic medical and health documents dating back five years.
The PubMed search is now available at http://pubmed.hakia.com. Medical researchers, doctors, students, and consumers can now benefit from more transparent and accurate PubMed searches via hakia's powerful semantic technology. Compared to searching for documents on PubMed itself, hakia's advanced technology saves time to reach relevant information, which is displayed as more transparent.
Dr. John Boockvar, Assistant Professor of Neurological Surgery at Weill Cornell Medical College noted, ''If anything, hakia's PubMed search can bring results that you didn't know existed. hakia's addition of PubMed articles is the right direction toward more efficient search of medical information, which is critical to timely progress in medical research.''
The addition of the PubMed documents demonstrates hakia's commitment to providing users with the most accurate, credible and useful health content online. hakia offers results that are credibility-stamped and as up-to-date as possible, using sources that have met the quality criteria set forth by the Medical Library Association.
Dr. Riza C. Berkan, CEO of hakia.com remarked, ''PubMed documents, like many other credible databases, represent a unique challenge for search engines like Google, because popularity is simply not the right criteria for retrieving medical information. hakia's semantic search technology is devoid of all such limitations that come with statistical methods. Instead, hakia's algorithms search for the best contextual matches of the search query by using medical ontologies.''
PubMed searches can be conducted using hakia's exclusive PubMed search at http://pubmed.hakia.com, as part of hakia's medical search at http://medical.hakia.com, or as part of the general search engine itself.
Recently, hakia received a 2008 'Webware 100' Award for Search and Reference, from a CNET Web 2.0 user community website. Nearly two million votes were cast in an online voting poll which ultimately selected the winners. Finalists for the 2008 Webware 100 Awards were selected by the editors of Webware. The 2008 Webware 100 Awards recognize the best Web 2.0 sites, services, and applications that are leading the next wave of innovation. Webware editors received and reviewed thousands of entries. hakia is a general purpose, semantic search engine, dedicated to quality search experience.
The 2008 Webware Award win comes on the heels of hakia's announcement on the availability of quality-stamped health and medical content to users, as recommended by the Medical Library Association. The hakia.com search engine is currently operating in BETA mode while the development and analysis are underway. hakia is also the only New York-based search company on the finalist and winner list, a fact that signals towards the technology innovation that is growing outside of Silicon Valley.
hakia is the sole semantic search company, finalist and winner, in the 'Search and Reference' category.
