In a subcontractor partnership with IBM, an enterprise level search engine web application was designed for the structured querying of terabytes of classified data. In addition to Autonomy IDOL server, various search engine platforms and technologies were reviewed and analyzed for their ability to facilitate semantic search functionality. These included:
- Endeca
- Lucene/Solr
- Jena Semantic Web Framework
- Resource Description Format (RDF)
- Web Ontology Language (OWL)
The project required Parametric searching & filtering, federated integration with external data sources such as Lexis/Nexus and the ODBC indexing of structured relational data sources.
