(SIOUX FALLS, SD) -- BrightPlanet Corporation
has introduced Version 3.1 of the Deep Query Manager™ (DQM) that
includes new functions and a streamlined interface which makes search,
retrieval and document management much more intuitive. DQM is
BrightPlanet's knowledge analyst workbench for discovering, harvesting,
and managing information from open sources on the Internet. This new
version replaces DQM Version 2 that has already had significant
acceptance in the marketplace. Version 3.1 can access over 70,000
surface and deep Web sources. With it, users can merge and aggregate
data as they see fit and then create document subsets using queries and
powerful filtering techniques. This allows users to "slice and dice"
and otherwise manipulate the information in whatever ways help them
meet their search goals. Version 3.1 represents substantial development
and testing from BrightPlanet designers along with significant input
from existing customers.
Projects and Consolidated Functionality
Version 3.1 includes a number of other significant improvements including:
Harvests – Shared specifications for all available harvest methods are now consolidated.
This includes searches of the Deep Web, "crawls" of the surface web, and local searches against previously harvested results.
Projects – Projects allow users to consolidate related document sets that should be grouped and manipulated together.
Reports
– All available system reports are now consolidated, and a number of
user-controlled, standard report formats have been introduced.
A Redesigned Interface
The DQM interface has been completely redesigned, providing a streamlined and more natural workflow.
The changes have also resulted in the interface being made easier to navigate and far more intuitive.
The Version 3.1 interface is a Web-centric, template-based design that gives proper consideration to:
- Standard and aggressive use of hyperlinks for navigation
- A global navigation reference on all screens
- A flat (hyperlinked) design
- Conventional use of buttons to signal actions
- Web page "look-and-feel"
- Minimal use of pop-ups
- Simplified number of choices within a single screen
- Avoidance of tree controls, where possible.
These changes enable this version of the Deep Query Manager to deliver a simplified and highly effective product workflow:
- Documents are efficiently found and harvested
- Qualified documents are stored in a central location, and then
- Various tools manipulate these documents to achieve desired results.
This has all resulted in the easiest to learn and use, and yet most powerful search/harvest/results management tool available.
