Sun ONE Portal Server to Include AltioLive Portlet Edition

Altio Inc. announced a strategic relationship with Sun Microsystems, Inc. that will include the worldwide bundling of the AltioLive Portlet Edition with the Sun ONE Portal Server, expected to begin in the first quarter of 2003. AltioLive Portlet Edition, an XML and Java technology-based development environment, allows Sun ONE Portal Server customers to create and deploy interactive portlets and “process portals.” The relationship provides a portal solution that will allow Sun customers to build ‘process portals.’ Such portals let users combine data or services from different systems into coordinated processes, offering business process management from within the portal interface and shielding users from the complexity of back-end systems. The AltioLive platform also supports the Sun ONE Application Server enabling companies to develop and deploy rich enterprise business applications outside of the portal, running in any browser or personal device that later can be easily tied to portlets built with AltioLive. www.altio.com/sunone

RedDot’s CMS Integrates with Plumtree’s Portal Server

RedDot Solutions announced the company’s integration with Plumtree’s Portal Server. Through the “RedDot CMS Task” gadget for Plumtree Portal, integration will enable customers to extend RedDot CMS’ workflow editing capabilities into the Plumtree Portal. Users of the portal can customize their “My Page” to display the content and information that they find most useful. When the user’s “My Page” is opened, the Portal Server retrieves individual content blocks, called “gadgets,” from various locations, or “gadget servers.” The gadgets are then displayed in a multi-column Web page, whose layout and style are customizable by the end user. The RedDot CMS Tasks gadget gives the Plumtree portal user an at-a-glance summary of RedDot CMS Tasks Menu directly from his/her “My Page”, without having to first log in to RedDot. The gadget code resides on the RedDot server, which also acts as the gadget server. When the Portal Server requests gadget content from the RedDot server, RQL (the RedDot Query Language, RedDot CMS’s XML-based API) is used to interface with the RedDot server and retrieve the user’s Tasks. www.reddot.com

Autonomy Launches “Eduction” Module

Autonomy Corporation plc announced the release of the Autonomy Eduction module. The Autonomy Eduction module automatically analyzes unstructured text and extracts pertinent information in order to form complex metadata. Autonomy’s automatic technology, which underpins the Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL) into which the new Eduction module fits, removes the manually intensive process of creating complex metadata and produces it in real time. Autonomy provides the ability to intelligently extract relevant information from unstructured data based on a conceptual understanding of the item rather than relying solely on noun phrase methods. With Autonomy’s technology, a business can channel all manner of information such as phone numbers, URLs, interest rates and serial numbers contained in unstructured file formats into any location or database based on the type of information it is. Autonomy’s Eduction module can be customized to organize new information via user defined rules in the plain tagging process, through concept-value tagging which uses predefined models to train by example or through a combination of both methods. www.autonomy.com
