Google took another step in its effort to shed light on the so-called Dark Web, announcing that its engine can now search scanned documents in a PDF.

Using optical character recognition (OCR) technology, Google’s search engine now can convert scanned PDF documents into text that can be searched and indexed, the company said. Thus, government reports, academic papers and other scanned documents can now show up in search results. Search engines generally interpret PDF documents as images of text rather than text.

What IS interesting is that this ties together not only viral marketing and the concepts in the “Tipping Point”, but also the web, and of particular interest search engine optimisation, and link-building or social media optimisation.

There has been a lot of talk about semantic hubs on the web, and network theory helps to make this all clearer. It also ties in with semantic web structuring or “silos”.

Semantic relationships are mapped in the WordNet database, which is presented visually in the Visual Thesarus and this experiment at Sydney Uni and cemetech

While we are exploring Semantics in search engines, here is a good summary of how Google is currently using semantics Semantic suggestion
