The right content to the right people with automated semantic tagging on SharePoint

Martin Trajkov

Strategic Partner Manager

SharePoint is at the heart of many organizations’ content strategy. However, it is often a challenge for users to discover the right content needed to accomplish a task, resulting in loss of time or wrong decisions. This problem is amplified even more when the content is supposed to serve as the knowledge base for AI tools such as OpenAI-based assistants or copilots, or when users start becoming citizen developers and build automations using Power Platform.

By using automated, AI-driven tagging based on a knowledge graph that describes facts about your organization, discoverability can be hugely improved and automated recommendation of the right content at the right time becomes possible.

Semantic tagging contrasts with other approaches such as machine learning or the application of language models, in that it provides a fully explainable approach, which in turn can earn better trust from human users. At the same time, both the semantically tagged documents and knowledge graph are essential building blocks
