Oh my: EII

Semagix, which describes itself as a developer of semantics-based enterprise information integration (EII) applications, has released Version 3.0 of its Freedom platform for enhancing metadata and integrating enterprise information from structured and unstructured content sources.

The company reports Freedom is a semantics-based EII software platform that is used by customers to aggregate and relate large volumes of heterogeneous information held in disparate locations. The new and enhanced features of Freedom 3.0 are said to simplify and reduce the cycle for system integrators to implement the Freedom platform, while providing more immediate and visible results to the customer. Key features of Freedom 3.0 include:

• high-performance, scalable architecture through the support for Solaris;

• direct entity extraction, which improves knowledge extraction performance by a claimed 10 to 30 times and reduces the time to develop knowledge extraction agents to less than one hour;

• a re-designed categorization and classification module;

• a “Semantic Visualizer” tool for visually browsing contextually relevant information and faster set-up of knowledge extractors;

• extended document conversion features with support for 250 different structured, semi-structured and unstructured content formats;

• incremental, near real-time check-pointing and distributed server management to allow new information content to be analyzed, categorized and made available to enterprise users within seconds;

• so-called "government grade" data security level; and

• audit trail functionality to meet requirements of financial services and government intelligence users.
