Semantic Search with EBSCO Discovery Service
Semantic Search with EBSCO Discovery Service
Users at any research level can find relevant content with ease using EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS). Our Semantic Search intuitively understands a user's search intent and delivers relevant and reliable content.
EDS Honors Search Intent
EDS search intelligently understands everyday language, synonyms, and questions across many topics. When a library user conducts a search, EDS broadens the query to include all relevant subjects and synonyms while respecting the user's intent.
Natural Language Search - How It Works
EDS search uses Al to expand the user's query, so the search results accurately capture the user's search intent.
Decreasing Barriers to Search
EDS provides more relevant content to researchers because it expands natural language queries into relevant subject synonyms, helping you discover more information faster.
How It Works
The EBSCO Unified Subject Index (USI) uses the EBSCO Knowledge Graph, which includes millions of subject terminology in over 280 languages, thousands of linked data sets, and natural language equivalents. This ensures users are delivered the most relevant content.
Bridging the Research Gap
EDS bridges the user's natural language and research content, retrieving relevant search results with ease. It saves researchers time and ensures they don't miss important research due to terminology.
