Oracle Endeca Information Discovery comprises three core components. The sections that follow provide an overview of these components and how they relate to the major Endeca features that have been discussed. Further in my blog cover these components in greater detail. Figure 1 shows an overview of the Endeca core components. These core components are:
- Endeca Server A hybrid search and analytic database with capabilities to incorporate wide, diverse, and changing data; architected for discovery
- Endeca Information Discovery Integrator A set of tools for loading and optionally enriching diverse information, including structured, semistructured, and structured data
- Endeca Information Discovery Studio A discovery application composition environment providing drag-and-drop authoring to create interactive, visually rich information discovery applications
