IDOL's classification solutions remove an organization's reliance on the human intervention typically required by most e-business applications. IDOL overcomes issues caused by the exponential growth of unstructured data through its ability to automatically, consistently and accurately classify data. IDOL provides a wide range of highly automated and scalable classification solutions.
Automatic Categorization & Channels
Collaborative Classifier
Automatic Taxonomy Generation
Taxonomy Libraries
Automatic classification delivers the benefits of increased organizational productivity and overall cost reduction by automating content access, receipt, analysis and delivery.
IDOL's classification solutions make data more accessible, providing users with information that has been clearly defined and automatically placed into a logical business-driven structure. Furthermore, Autonomy provides organizations with classification tools that enable them to gain an immediate understanding of the information they possess.
Automatic Categorization and Channels
IDOL's categorization features allow users to derive precise categories through concepts found within unstructured text, ensuring that all data is classified in the correct context with the utmost accuracy. Existing legacy taxonomies can be either maintained or enriched with contextual understanding. The information that IDOL has automatically aggregated and categorized is presented to users in the form of channels.
Channels facilitate the creation of a directory structure that is both easy to navigate and maintain. Users with the appropriate administrative permission can create and administer these category channels for all other individuals in the organization. As the system allows content to be categorized in such a consistent and objective manner, data becomes more accessible to users, reducing defocusing processes and overheads in information management.
Key Benefits
Remove the issues of controlling large quantities of unstructured information
Improve productivity by removing defocusing content management processes
Reduce overheads in maintaining information provision
Categorize content in a consistent and objective manner, making data more accessible
Maintain existing legacy taxonomies or enrich them with contextual understanding

When organized accurately, corporate information is more easily retrieved. Users are able to make more informed business decisions, corporate expertise is retained rather than lost and new business opportunities are uncovered. With the proliferation of enterprise content, it is also imperative to create taxonomies that address both unstructured and structured data. Autonomy's taxonomy generation feature automatically and consistently creates taxonomies based on IDOL's conceptual understanding of information. While it supports the full range of manual controls, it is also able to automate the laborious process of taxonomy generation, allowing experts to focus on the details that really matter.
Autonomy takes a unique, holistic approach to taxonomy generation that strikes the optimum balance between automation and manual refinement. By forming a conceptual understanding of information in the enterprise, IDOL automatically generates taxonomies and instantly organizes data into a familiar child/parent taxonomic structure. IDOL identifies names and creates each node based on an understanding of the concepts within the data set as a whole. Autonomy's data agnostic classification capabilities enable organizations to build taxonomies based on any type of data: unstructured, semi- structured, structured, audio and video. It eliminates laborious data entry work, creating enterprise-level taxonomies with unmatched speed.
Key Benefits
Automatically creates consistent, objective and accurate taxonomies
Offers support for detailed manual interaction and maintenance
Automatically adapts to changing use of language
Offers highly configurable administrative options
Delivers instant visibility of all information assets
Drives down overheads and increases productivity
Offers protection from market consolidation – Autonomy owns 100% of the technology
It is also essential to offer classification experts the freedom to edit and refine taxonomies. Autonomy offers a sophisticated array of tools to facilitate the manual maintenance of enterprise taxonomies. ACC is a comprehensive management interface for subject matter experts (the people who know and use taxonomies) and knowledge engineers (the people responsible for the controlled vocabularies used within the enterprise). It enables cross-functional collaboration between these experts, allowing improvements to be made in real-time so that the enterprise can adapt in response to changing business requirements.
The intuitive user interface provides familiar features such as drag-and-drop of documents and categories across the taxonomy, and query tools that quickly locate documents and keyword to define categories. Onscreen visualization of document distribution allows editors and publishers to track, assess and improve the assignment of documents to categories. In addition, Autonomy enables existing taxonomies to be imported, including: web URLs, file paths, Autonomy taxonomies, as well as corporate and other third party taxonomies.
Key Benefits
Distributes management of taxonomies to the people who know and use them
Creates and manages taxonomies in real-time using the workflow features
One of the best ways to leverage enterprise information is through effective content organization. Taxonomies are a proven and effective way of organizing content to meet the unique needs of different groups of users or to achieve specific business objectives. The use of industry-standard taxonomies is a common way of jump starting a classification initiative. They combine an enterprise-wide standard vocabulary with in-depth industry-specific terminology, allowing entire organizations to interoperate more efficiently.
Built by experienced knowledge engineers using best practices learned through hundreds of consulting engagements, Autonomy taxonomies let organizations rapidly deploy industry-standard taxonomies that can be combined with your corporate taxonomies or easily customized to meet company and industry-specific requirements. Each Autonomy taxonomy is based on industry standards, and built using IDOL's conceptual analysis that provides the highest level of accuracy. The range of available taxonomies includes:
Biotechnology
Civil / Criminal Procedure
Defense
Electronic, Mechanical and Structural Engineering
Emergency Services
Epidemiology
Financial Services
Homeland Security
Human Resources
Information Technology
Petrochemical
Pharmaceutical
Sales and Marketing
Key Benefits
Jump start classification initiatives with tested and proven pre-built taxonomies
Use taxonomy rules as controlled vocabularies or synonym lists to enhance search results
Customizable industry-standard taxonomies for achieving specific business objectives
Shortened implementation cycles
Highly configurable administrative options
Support for over four hundred other business systems
