Autonomy Corporation, provider of infrastructure software for the enterprise, announced its Directed Navigation module, which integrates with Autonomy's core Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL). Autonomy's Directed Navigation delivers highly accurate results by guiding users through the navigation process to provide advanced real-time information discovery.
Combining structured information from databases with navigational tools and advanced concept-based search, Directed Navigation offers a way for companies to integrate valuable information from structured databases with unstructured content.
Combining information found within structured fields such as product name, size, manufacturer and sku, with unstructured content such as product description, allows users to search and find products.
Real-time navigation across multiple taxonomies, including full access to intersections of diverse taxonomy definitions, requires no additional manual intervention, making Directed Navigation an extremely efficient retrieval system, says the company.
By querying the engine with the name of a "Directed Navigation" field or fields, users receive a list of all textual values that appear within the given field or fields within the documents stored in the engine. Using a customized user interface, this core operation enables users to gradually refine and validate queries from a complete corpus of data to the subset of documents that contain information highly relevant to the user's enquiry.
