Full Metadata and XML Handling

XML Tagging

Intelligent XML

IDOL enables organizations to truly realize the potential of XML. Autonomy has developed the only fully featured, commercially scalable infrastructure solution that is capable of automatically working with native XML. IDOL allows organizations to eliminate the inefficiencies of the manual issues associated with creating XML tags by understanding the content and purpose of either the tag itself, related information or both.

Adding Intelligence to XML

The use of XML is already widespread, but its deployment has significant limitations. Not only are tags often chosen manually in a costly and time-consuming process but XML also has no built-in understanding of concepts that are similar to one another. In XML, for example, the tag <aircraft> and the tag <plane> are wholly unrelated items. Typically, this presents considerable problems because information from different sources that has been structured using different tagging rules cannot be reconciled, even if there are important conceptual similarities. This lack of conceptual understanding is a considerable handicap to the success of XML as the standard provider for information exchange. IDOL provides the critical layer of intelligence that can understand the content and purpose of the tagging process and its related information. IDOL is a crucial component for any vendor who wants to make native XML an intelligent part of its core architecture.

Seamless XML Interoperability

IDOL provides an infrastructure for complete and automatic interoperability between applications using different XML tagging rules. The IDOL infrastructure is based on a conceptual understanding of XML documents, rather than on the tags themselves, and combines this with all other IDOL functions.

Key Benefits

Removes the need to manually insert XML tags

Allows interoperability between applications that use different XML tagging rules

Allows applications to use idea distancing (vital relationship between seemingly separately tagged subjects) to increase the value of the information provided to users

Automates processes that were previously performed manually

Natively indexes XML directly into the engine

Obtains all output from the engine in XML format

"While enterprise content management vendors with a portal relationship certainly see the need for personalization of content, they do not have the larger vision of a company like Autonomy, which sees itself as infrastructure, or new operating system augmenter, that brings context to the wide range of content."
