 SIFT  - Benefits

 

  • Reduced Cost and Time to Market - The pre-built components of the Raritan Search Framework enable us to build feature rich search applications quicker and on budget.
     
  • Fully Tested - Raritan has developed and deployed search applications for many fortune 500 companies using it's search framework components. Each deployment is fully and rigorously tested, leading to higher quality search applications for all.
     
  • Open - Uses a powerful set of interfaces and design patterns that provide for implementation transparency and extensibility. Incorporates a number of open standards and open-source solutions.
     
  • Pluggable - Modules are built from sets of replaceable components using an innovative XML configuration architecture.
     
  • Robust - Reuse of modules in different contexts and applications enables them to be thoroughly tested and proven.
     
  • Comprehensive - The framework contains over 1200 classes that cover a wide spectrum of data integration functionality.
     
  • Flexible - The XML Configurable object model is designed to be extensible. New modules and new module types can be developed and plugged in most cases with no changes required to the existing code.
     
  • Consistent - Provides a repeatable way to develop full-featured search applications that follow consistent patterns both at the design and implementation levels. Make it easier for distributed teams to develop and maintain complex applications.
     
  • Data Source Independence: - can build content applications using a wide variety of back-end sources.
    • Search Engines (Autonomy, Endeca, Fast, Verity, Dieselpoint, Lucene).
    • Databases (Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL etc.).
    • Directory Services (LDAP)

    • Local files.

     

  • Data source integration:
    • Federated Search - built in when more than one source is mapped to a category.
    • Embedded search enables dynamic data integration.

     

  • Advanced User Interface development
    Value added features
    • Alerting
    • Role-based application development.
    • Search history
    • Annotation

     
  • Integration of advanced information processing
    • Taxonomy integration
    • Text analytics
