VisIT® is a graphical interface for information retrieval and knowledge management based on a web services architecture. VisIT® can be used as an individual search tool or deployed as enterprise software. VisIT® currently runs within Internet Explorer™ so users can access it just like they would their “History” or “Favorites” making it easy to use. Industry standard methods and languages are used in VisIT® making it easy to deploy and maintain (C#, .NET, Linux/Unix, Java, XML). Whenever possible, VisIT® utilizes the power of the user’s computer to minimize server resources making it a very cost effective and scalable solution.
With VisIT® text and data mining capabilities, hundreds of search results can be quickly and dynamically clustered by similarity or other metrics. Types or classes of documents can be efficiently and effectively classified. Hundreds of thousands of documents can be mined for data when needed and the results made available for visualization. Needed information can be extracted from tagged as well as untagged documents. Knowledge is managed amongst users in a variety of ways. The results of users searches, “knowledge artifacts” are saved and managed within a group of users of any size. These knowledge artifacts become another searchable resource for users and another source of information for machine intelligence algorithms and data mining. When VisIT’s® personalized search engine is deployed it can look for selective information (as defined by authorized users) or crawl desired sites entirely, caching information that is found for future use. VisIT can work seamlessly with other corporate search solutions as well, to augment their results and make them more effective and easy to use.
VisIT® is more than just a passive system. VisIT® listens to its users, learns from them, helps users learn from other users, facilitates collaboration and can adjust to the needs of the novice or advanced experts. VisIT® does not rely on lists of millions of “hits” presented ten at a time to display information. VisIT® provides alternative graphical displays that can help the user see more information and, more information about the results of a search. Search results can be easily deleted, manipulated and annotated in a simple “Windows like” manner that is easy for anyone to learn.
