Accelerated Delivery of Meaning Based Applications powered by Autonomy IDOL7 using Okana SENSE™ Application Frameworks for Java and .NET.

The horizontal applicability of an Autonomy IDOL Server Infrastructure layer to all forms of structured and unstructured information in the Enterprise and on the Web calls for a similarly flexible approach to application development. Unlike legacy SQL-based applications, next generation Meaning Based Applications (MBA’s) must be as agnostic as possible to the datatypes, formats and schemas that sit beneath them.

Over the last decade Okana have refined specialist techniques and multi-tiered application architectures which solve these problems and provide for accelerated development of bespoke Autonomy-powered MBA’s.

Key to this approach is the concept of Declarative Schema Mapping. This allows Okana applications to map IDOL functions to a potentially complex superset of underlying data formats and meta field combinations with no programming.

SENSE.NET and Java SENSE Frameworks have been designed from the ground-up to bring together all of these techniques in a manner which allows MBA’s based upon common IDOL functions to be delivered much more rapidly than any other method.

A SENSE-powered application can be configured to run against any IDOL Server instance. This is a significant advantage for organisations who are looking to develop a strategy for Autonomy IDOL-based Applications which allows them to more easily evolve with their ever changing, and growing, information platform.

SENSE Frameworks have been used since 2007 by Okana to build some of the World's highest profile Enterprise Search systems and Meaning Based Applications.

They also power all of Okana’s SENSE and ONDiscover products.

This approach to application development is a significant differentiator for Okana and if you are looking for a bespoke MBA you need to speak to us.
