Overview

Knorex Lumina™ is an enterprise-level service-oriented knowledge discovery platform designed from ground-up to enable easy aggregation, mining, integration from disparate and heterogeneous (structured (e.g. relational database, spreadsheet), semi-structured (XML, emails, HTML) and unstructured(free-text articles)) data sources, querying and searching, all within a single platform. With the inferencing and reasoning capabilities built as part of the infrastructure, Now, you can inject your own domain-specific ontology and rapidly create an application using Knorex Lumina as your knowledge acquisition and discovery platform.

Benefits:

• Standards-based components means you have the flexibility to choose best-of-breed solutions to tailor to your unique business environment while at the same time ensuring interoperability
• Enterprise-grade architecture that offers a complete workflow to support Semantic-based knowledge discovery
• Easily deploy or create new customized applications by leveraging on a scalable platform
• Save precious time and money by focusing on relevant results instead of searching/sifting through returned results which still require more processing and more understanding

Key Features:

• Easy automation to crawl specified content sources
• Integrated access to a broad range of content sources including PDF, HTML, MS Word, MS Excel spreadsheet, relational databases, plain text files, RSS feeds, audio/video transcripts and so on as if they are one
• Keyword based interface or an intuitive drag-and-drop visual query builder to create query to return relevant results
• Enables discovery of new knowledge and connections between data sources through inferencing
• Semi-automation of learning and enrichment of ontology capability
• Domain-independent system that can accept any well-formed ontologies
• Empowers end users instead of simply experts to work directy with the contents
• Semantics based on formal specification with system components that comply with W3C standards
• Highly modular and versatile platform that allows for easy and rapid customization to adapt to new application. Simply plug in your domain ontology to get started
• Successfully deployed to a spectrum of domain applications

Key Technical Features

• Written entirely in Java and uses enterprise level frameworks
• API-based and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)-enabled. Use either way to create mashups, desktop application or Rich Internet Application (RIA) to powerful enteprise applications that can run on the Web, desktop or server to support cross-platforms such as Windows, Mac or Linux
• Semantics based on formal specification with system components that comply with W3C standards
• Supports a range of querying languages: nRQL, SPARQL and SeRQL
• Supports both RDF and OWL Ontologies
• Triplestore adapters are available to connect to Sesame, Oracle 11g, OWLIM, AllegroGraph and more
• Supports partial inferecing, OWL-Lite and full OWL-DL reasoning through direct interfacing with RacerPro, Pellet and other reasoners
