Spinque is a spin-off company from CWI that builds on the research into Databases and Information Retrieval integration. We build tailor made search engines over connected datasets. Our technology allows to compose what we call “search strategies” out of pre-defined building blocks, and compile these strategies into custom, interactive search engines. With Spinque, information specialists can determine the way they approach their search tasks, and adapt their search strategy to the task at hand. Our main selling point today is to provide diversity thanks to flexibility. Relying on our unique approach to generate search engine technology from declarative specifications, we can provide the search engine for “search-based applications” at a low cost, tackling problems in core search but also related domains such as business intelligence, recommendation and ontology alignment.

[..] Looking forward, our ambition is to become the first choice for supplying “middleware search technology”. Thanks to the advances made in our search platform, we can define, generate and deploy search engine APIs with very low overhead. Keeping this platform up-to-date with advances in search and related disciplines requires a dedicated team with high technical expertise. We aim at creating a partner network for developing the end-to-end search solution, and building a developer pool who realize the power of our search platform. http://ecir2015.ifs.tuwien.ac.at/wp/?page_id=117#talk_devries
