OpenText Collections Server

Hoch performante Suchen und Abfragen in verwalteten Collections

OpenText Collections Server (ehemals Livelink ECM - Collections Server oder BASIS) wurde speziell für Archivierungs- und Informationzentren entwickelt. Die Lösung verwaltet hybride Dokumenten-Collections, die aus Dokumenten und ihren zugehörigen Metadaten bestehen. Zumeist sind diese Collections sehr umfangreich und enthalten sehr kompakte Informationen zu bestimmten Themenbereichen. Daher profitieren die meisten Organisationen von einem effektiven Thesaurus Management, umfassenden Suchen, Navigation und Ergebnis-Clustering.

Häufig wird Content verwaltet, um Haftungsrisiken zu kontrollieren. Anderer Content ist ein Unternehmenswert. Diese Assets machen das intellektuelle Kapital Ihres Unternehmens aus. Sie müssen nicht nur sicher gespeichert werden. Die geschickte Nutzung dieser Assets und die Wiederverwendung dieses Wissens wird für Ihr Unternehmen gewinnbringend sein.

Große Informationszentren von Behörden und der Wirtschaft nutzen bereits OpenText Collections Server. Er eignet sich beispielsweise optimal für folgende Aufgabengebiete:

• Forschungen und Records Management
• Veröffentlichung technischer Dokumente
• Archivierung von Content
• Gerichtliche Nachverfolgung
• Verträge und Rechtsstreitigkeiten
• Wettbewerbsanalysen
• Produktkataloge

Funktionen

• Umfassende Indizierungsoptionen: Collections Server provides extensive indexing options, including word and phrase, context definition, date conversion, native lexical capabilities such as plurals control and Soundex. Since keyword indexes may not be appropriate for all data types, Collections Server is flexible enough to let you define the index type best suited for the data to guarantee successful searches.
• Thesaurus basierte Konzept-Suchen: The ANSI standard thesaurus is dynamically invoked at data entry for term validation with reciprocation, term switching and override. At retrieval, the Collections Server thesaurus provides search assistance through browse and select lists, term switching, disambiguation and search expansion of broader or narrower terms.
• Hit-to-Hit Navigation: Collections Server provides hit-to-hit navigation of search terms inside each document, enabling you to move directly to the page that contains your search term without having to read every page.
• Browsen in Index-Begriffen: Collections Server enables users to directly browse the collection of indexed terms (data index & thesaurus), facilitating knowledge discovery.
• Extraktion von Konzepten: The ability to analyze full-text content to identify and extract topical themes, companies and names. The values can be stored as metadata in order to supplement manual cataloging and improve search results and navigation.
• Zusammengesetzte Felder: Compound fields can be defined to store and discretely index lists of author names, companies, subjects, or other values that all apply to a single document. Unique to Collections Server, the ability to manage compound fields and differentiate each element is ideally suited to complex text database applications.
• Clustering von Ergebnismengen: The Collections Server provides the platform to evaluate results and rank them according to content in context for maximum productivity and knowledge discovery.
• Traditionelle Feldsuche: The ability to search structured fields and text in a single query ensures precise retrieval over large collections of related content. Context awareness helps users find content about a specialized concept, not just documents containing the search words.
• Offene Architektur und Standard-Oberflächen: There are several interface and application development options for building Collections Server applications. The Webtop Suite provides a full-featured Web user experience and API. It offers schema-aware default pages for search, display and data maintenance. Webtop is also a JDBC and Java development toolkit for rapid deployment.
• Hosting Services für schnellen Erfolg: If you have budget restraints or are challenged to acquire support from internal IT resources you might consider a hosted solution.  OpenText’s Hosting Services provide an alternative method of deployment to achieve optimum performance without the administrative and implementation costs associated with installing and managing an in-house system. OpenText hosted solutions look after all the operational aspects like backups, upgrades, configuration, performance, and scalability. Other benefits of hosting through OpenText include: lower total cost of ownership; no capital expenditure; faster deployment; access to expert, relevant advice; pay as you grow.
