Abstract
In this age of information technology, search engines have been very popular among the
Internet users. However, very often the results returned by the search engines are not too relevant
to what one person is actually really looking for, especially for a business owner. Thus, there is a
need to have an engine that could provide meaningful business contacts associated with product
type.
Business-users experience difficulties filtering result from many irrelevant results returned
from web. He may need to spend long hours to actually find what he needs, and in worst scenario,
he may not get the result at all. TalentInfra, a company to be started up, hopes to resolve this
business-user pain by introducing a business entities portal. In this dissertation, only the business
entities mapping mechanism is discussed.
This mechanism is designed to categorize companies who are interested in consuming,
producing or associating with similar product types. It aggregates companies in similar supply
, and demand chains so that companies are able to search for the relevant business contacts. The
current search engine, such as Google and Yahoo do not provide business contacts by entering a
product type. In fact, search engines provide non-business relevant information, which is useless
to the business-users.
With this mechanism, there is hope that the users can have better focus on expanding their
business opportunities.
