Autonomy - IBM Integration
Autonomy allows you to seamlessly integrate Autonomy Portlets with IBM WebSphere Portal Server. With the advent of Autonomy's Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL), Autonomy enables IBM's leading Web Application Server, to tap into business critical content regardless of where the information resides. Whether connecting people to content, content to content or even people to people, Autonomy provides a complete range of JSP Portlets compatible with IBM's WebSphere Portal Server, that delivers the latest in personalization, collaboration and retrieval features.
Autonomy enables users of IBM to enhance their Portal solution whilst leveraging the existing information assets, allowing users to make faster and better-informed decisions. Whether implementing an enterprise wide or web-facing solution, Autonomy Portlets provide the catalyst to improve operational efficiency whilst reducing the cost of manual overhead of managing information.
Technology Overview
Autonomy's software infrastructure uses sophisticated pattern-matching techniques to enable computers to understand information in context. For the first time, a computer can go beyond keywords and metadata to identify concepts within the text itself to determine which are the most important and to automate the processing of this content, regardless of its format, location, language, application it's been created with or stored in.
Using Autonomy Connectors, Autonomy's Portlets can integrate unstructured, semi-structured and structured information from multiple repositories through an understanding of the content. Delivering a real time environment in which operations across applications and content are automated, Autonomy removes all the manual processes involved in getting the right information, to the right people at the right time. IDOL makes enterprise systems "data-agnostic", therefore providing automated efficiencies never experienced before.
Features and Benefits
Autonomy's unique infrastructure, which carries out operations on unstructured content through understanding the context of the information solves the issues of manually tagging information and the defocussed approach of using legacy keyword systems to find information, through automation across all digital domains. Autonomy's range of Portlets will:

Agent Portlet
Autonomy's Agent Portlet allows individual users to create their own personalized information channels, either from Natural Language, legacy Keywords, Boolean expressions, Parametric Searches or even simply by example. These agents then monitor all incoming information and can target and alert useful content on a continual basis, automatically.
Users begin by customizing the Agent Portlet by setting up 'interest agents'. This is done by the user describing in plain natural language what it is they are interested in. The Interest Agent persistently identifies all relevant content and presents it in a concise personalized page, complete with URL links. As new information becomes available the agent will monitor new data submissions ensuring that the Portlet user is always provided with up-to-date information. Moreover, as user interests change users are also given the option to refine their interest by retraining the agents.

Community Portlet
The Community Portlet notifies individual users of any agents that people in the work community may have set up using the Agent Portlet, which resemble their own personalized agents. This Portlet brings together the benefits of collaboration, reducing duplicated effort as well as identifying experts within the organization.
Features:

Profile Portlet
The Profile Portlet brings new documents to users attention based on each users individual interest and according to their profile. This Portlet creates a profile on each user based on the concepts of the documents that the user has been reading within the Autonomy Portlet suite (Agents, Retrieval, Clustering, Community etc.). Every time a user opens a new document within the Autonomy Portlet suite, the user's profile will be update based on the information read.
Features:
|
Expertise Locator Portlet
The Expertise Locator Portlet allows users to find people who have been dealing with a specific subject by entering a brief natural language description of the subject. It returns all agents and profiles that match this description together with the names of the users who own the agents or profiles.
Features:
|
Similar People Portlet
The Similar People feature notifies a user or other people in the same organization of other users who have been using the same type of documents that you have been looking at. This feature helps users avoid spending time on searching for information that may already be available, and enables you to co-ordinate your work with that of your colleagues.

Cluster Portlets
Cluster Portlets provide a range of classification Portlets and visualization tools that can be added to the IBM environment, further enriching the portal experience.
Autonomy's automatic clustering features identify areas of intense research, breaking news or emerging trends and market opportunities based on information found within the knowledge base. Autonomy's Cluster Portlets can take large sets of document data or user-profile information and automatically identify the main set of concepts/ themes inherent within the knowledge base.
Furthermore, clustering can be used in identifying the 'gap' between the users interests and the data being provided to the users thereby allowing 'knowledge/ content gaps' to be eliminated through provision or aggregation of further content relevant to the community.
Hot & Breaking News Portlets
Hot News
The Hot News Cluster Portlet can identify what's 'hot', i.e. the main topics/ clusters of information or interests found within the information assets or an organization. This allows the business to instantly receive a high-level view of the entire knowledge base providing a catalyst that enables informed decisions to be made faster.
Breaking News
Identify what's new in the information space. Taking the cluster analysis from a previous time period and comparing it to a current one allows AUTOMATIC identification of new clusters that weren't previously present, allowing automation of 'breaking news' pages, alerting to new areas of information or new interest trends in subscriber groups.

Cluster Visualization
Autonomy's infrastructure technology delivers the ability to generate visualization applications based on the process of automatic clustering. Termed "Cluster Visualization", Autonomy provides two intuitive Java-based Portlets that identify the relationship between information clusters in one time period or on successive periods and sets of data:
2D ClusterMap Portlet
The 2D Cluster Map is used to identify conceptual similarities and differences between clusters. Also based on JSP, the landscape is generated from the inter-relationships between clusters and the documents contained within those clusters. Designed to provide a single overview of the clusters contained within the data, clusters that are close together correlate to higher degrees of similarity, whilst dissimilar clusters are situated further apart. By scrolling over the ClusterMap automatic titles are generated
