Product Description: Semantifi.com is a platform to publish & search structured data on the Web. Semantifi can index and search data to show automatic visuals such as tables and charts in real-time even from very large databases. Semantifi is the only platform where community can publish datasets and share them as Search Apps with initial Apps across Finance, Government and Linked datasets. Semantifi envisions that millions of community built Search Apps will soon power Deep Web search.
Market Opportunity: Semantifi focuses on searching structured data which is a multi-billion market and yet untapped. Leading search engines search webpages well but their technology doesn't work for data. Searching data can revolutionize web search with few relevant answers instead of millions of keyword-matched page-links to over 50% of internet searches.
