A powerful, feature-rich discovery system that provides unmatched power and flexibility to assist users in discovering and identifying critical nuggets of knowledge in large repositories.

Discovery Server uses concepts from Information Theory as well as the combinatorial characteristics of words to focus on the semantic content of documents. The product determines a document's important concepts by analyzing how words and phrases occur in that document and in other documents.

It also emphasizes semantic relationships between different words and phrases by evaluating how they are used in combination with each other in a document.

• Consolidates knowledge base- Livelink Discovery Server provides a centralized repository of information that is fully accessible via the web, a Windows client, or custom applications
• Provides the ability to find information quickly and enables rapid response- Livelink Discovery Server sessions extend across multiple visits, allowing users to track queries, build on existing queries, and quickly and easily recall information from earlier visits
• Protects document design- Livelink Discovery Server automatically translates information that is in other formats into HTML to enabling you to deliver it easily on the Internet without reformatting
• Analyses data sources- Using Concept mining, name extraction (both organizations and names), and document clustering assists an administrator/user in better understanding the content of the data sources. It helps present the data using multiple views based on the discovery process

Web Discovery provides unified access to multiple internal and external information sources, such as news feed systems, document management repositories, intranets, and the World Wide Web.

Each of these information sources typically has its own search interface, and to submit a similar query to each of them becomes a time-consuming process. Web Discovery effectively streamlines the information retrieval process. It enables users to submit a single query to multiple information sources, and returns a unified and sorted set of results. Rather than spending excessive time submitting the same query over and over to multiple data sources, The product enables users to broadcast their query to a wide assortment of search engines and receive one set of consolidated results.

With this product, you can provide users with a unified knowledge management system that enables them to quickly find the information they need, improving productivity, and saving time and money.

• Provides a single point of access-Provides unified access for searching internal and external information sources in a common user interface
• Improves productivity-Makes it easier for users to find the information needed to do their job, enabling them to be more responsive and productive
• Leverages existing investments-Preserves the value of investments in legacy data sources by providing unified access to content in its existing locations, thus avoiding the cost of transferring large amounts of legacy data to new repositories

Full-text search techniques are enhanced by a strong relationship between lead terms and similar terms. Expanding the relationship between these lead and similar terms will yield more meaningful search results. An important part of a compliance Library will be the compliance Thesaurus.

The data mining - Advanced Information Retrieval Toolkit provides a set of analysis tools that enhance the capabilities of Search - Discovery Server. As the amount of information in document collections continues to expand, it becomes increasingly important to provide users with additional tools beyond the standard ranked list of documents in response to a search query-tools that can help users find more relevant information and help them understand the information for both its content, and its context.

• Concept mining allows users to get an overview of the organizations, people, and other concepts that are significant in a set of documents-the technology analyzes documents in a result set, or in an entire database, and selects the concepts that are deemed to be most important
• Use the automatic search enhancement option of concept mining to return most similar documents to the target documents
• Cluster documents to give users an overview of the range of topics discussed in a set of documents-in addition to (or even in place of) a standard result list, applications using document clustering can present a list of subtopics found in the retrieved documents

Organizes unstructured content and provides Information Retrieval tools to mine PLM content. Connectors enable full-text indexing of free text, giving users Knowledge Management access to "hard-to-find" PLM content. Faster, easier retrieval of PLM content with more confidence, make timely decisions, sort through endless information.
