The Knowledge Discovery Platform

Hadoop Connector is part of the Knowledge Discovery platform.

Knowledge Discovery is a family of products that retrieve, process, and enrich unstructured, semi-structured, and structured information from multiple repositories. It allows you to automate operations across applications and content, to get information to the right people at the right time.

In the Knowledge Discovery product family, there are four core areas of functionality:

  • Text. Search, analytics, and data enrichment for unstructured text sources.

  • Rich Media. Search, analytics, and data enrichment for image, audio, and video sources.

  • File Content Extraction. File format detection, content extraction, and rendering.

  • Ingest. Data collection and enrichment.

You can use different components and solutions from these four areas individually or in combination to solve a variety of business problems.

Knowledge Discovery aims to help you find all your valuable information, in all its forms, and convert it into useful and usable insight. This might be a simple search application, or a more intelligent system that provides analytics, or automation for handling data and alerting the relevant people.
