Autonomy Portlets - Sybase EP 5.1

Autonomy allows you to seamlessly integrate Autonomy Portlets with Sybase Enterprise Portal 5.1.

With the advent of Autonomy's Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL), Autonomy enables Sybase's leading Enterprise Portal 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 Portlets compatible with Sybase's EP 5.1 offering, that deliver the latest in personalization, collaboration and retrieval features.

Agent Portlet

Autonomy's Agent Portlet allows individual users to create their own personalized information channels, either from Natural Language, 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.

Features:

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 interests 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 Retrieval, Agent and Community Portlets. 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:

Retrieval Portlet

Built on our unique pattern-recognition technology, Autonomy's Retrieval Portlet provides a fully-automated and precise means of retrieving information. It allows content to be searched in any language and any format, wherever it is stored, and presented with hyperlinks to similar information, automatically and in realtime.

Unlike ordinary searches that look for keywords the Autonomy Retrieval Portlet allows you to enter a natural language query. The Retrieval Portlet submits the natural language query to one or more databases that have been set up, in order to find documents that are related to your query. The concept of the query is analyzed and documents that are relevant to this concept are returned to the user.

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.
