To maximize data accessibility, the ChartSearch data access tool incorporates patent-pending technology within the presentation and application layers of the platform. Using our tool, we make data accessibility simple and standardized.
The ChartSearch platform consists of five proprietary components that easily integrate and provide accessibility with your existing environment. They are divided into two layers:
- Presentation Layer. The top layer component of the architecture consists of a web-based end-user data access tool/interface that can be integrated with your existing corporate portal or can access BI platforms via standard web services. The presentation layer provides your end-users with the ability to submit queries so that they can access and view their search results.
- ChartSearch Application Layer. The “meat” of the ChartSearch platform, this layer itself contains four vital components:
- The ChartSearch Knowledge Base stores an index of available data, along with the semantic knowledge base needed to properly interpret user's queries. This knowledge base is built using ChartSearch’s patent-pending DataSearch Markup Language (DSML) technology.
- Search Term Parser utilizes this semantic information to construct interpretations on-the-fly of your user’s natural language queries.
- The ChartSearch Engine then constructs the relevant dynamic SQL queries to be submitted either to relevant middleware applications or can directly offer accessibility to the underlying data structures.
- The Chart Generator is a tool that executes these queries and then determines how best to display the data through the Search Results.
The technology is able to federate analysis across multiple databases in a truly heterogeneous data environment. This is made possible by ChartSearch’s DataSearch Markup Language (DSML), which is used to describe the data that users can search and access. DSML imparts a complete semantic layer of meta-data to the numerical data used in your organization.
