GathererPlus

Automated document spidering and rich metadata extraction

Managing the ever-growing quantities of electronic resources amassed by any organisation is a recurring headache for knowledge workers. Web pages, in-house documents, reports received in a variety of formats, images, emails: all add up to the vital resources that support an enterprise’s day to day activity and decision making. Is there a way to automatically capture the metadata describing each resource and incorporate it into an intelligent, searchable entity?

Our answer is “Yes – with GathererPlus”!

Lexalytics has created GathererPlus to automate the task of collecting information about this wide range of resources. Not only will it tell you what resources are available, it will also extract useful details from the resources it finds. The results of a GathererPlus “run” or “job” are returned in a format that can be incorporated into a searchable database, providing a one-stop front end to all of the resources.

You can schedule GathererPlus to run at times when your system is less busy and at intervals to suit the volume of new resources being added; and the output from GathererPlus is in industry standard XML format. So you can begin to understand the power of this technology. Simply feed the XML data into your favourite search engine to complete the collection and publishing cycle!
