Knowvation GS provides the ability to geospatially tag(geo-tag) geospatial and non-geospatial data. This capability in combination with full-text and geospatial queries sets Knowvation GS apart from other geospatial content management systems. Powerful query tools permit discovery using a geospatial search with the mouse in combination with Pattern, Concept, or Boolean text searches. Our sophisticated search capability supports both full text and metadata queries that, when combined with our geospatial functionality, puts Knowvation ahead of the pack.
FAQs
- Knowvation GS leverages Knowvation’s powerful continuous federated search engine to create geographic intel from your users’ and organization’s methods of utilizing data. In Knowvation GS, you can draw area, drop a pin, pick from predefined locations, or extract an entity’s place, names, or coordinates.
- Knowvation GS also features image chipping, bounding box search, side by side viewer, and pan/zoom, mensuration (distance and area), and more.
- Knowvation GS supports geo-location searching, as well as exact, boolean, pattern, and concept searches. Our new AI module can give your organization “geospatial AI” by continuously searching your organization’s data for relevant geographic and geospatial coordinates.
- Additionally, third party data suppliers’ data can be overlayed to enhance specific data analytics results and analysis.
- The system has the capability to define graphically a geospatial bounding box using Google Earth, Esri, or other WMS map resources. A geospatial search can be performed from the map or globe interface using a graphical bounding box that is constrained by temporal metadata.
- Any basemap set can be supported by Knowvation GS, including ESRI, Google, MatLab, or custom maps.
- Knowvation GS can overlay and manage any type of GIS data, as well as geo-tag any type of information to give it relevance to the right locations. Examples include:
- Condition reports
- Investigation or analyst reports
- Contracts
- Demographic reports
- News reports
- Financial transaction analysis
- Sentiment research
- Satellite imagery
- Drone imagery
- LIDAR and radar files
Users with geospatial tasks can more rapidly and completely assess the “picture” of a particular area. Knowvation GS enables this by:
- Activity Based Intelligence based on timelapse chipping and imagery analysis
- Cross lingual search: single language search finds results from many languages
- Video and audio speech to text transcription
Federated indexing allows an organization to index, or scan, for notable terms, across any internal or external data stores or websites or other file shares. Knowvation continuously indexes whatever data stores an organization would like to index, without requiring the ingestion of documents or data. This greatly speeds search performance, reduces storage costs, and ensures your search queries results reflect all the information possible.
- Knowvations’ smart crawl service continuously scans websites, database, file shares, and other data stores for relevant information that an organization has pointed Knowvation to or given Knowvation access to.
- This allows analysts to search on text within maps, data across varying repositories and scanned files. Adding AI to the system allows analysts to quickly extract relevant information for geospatial data processing workflows while also opening the door for conversational chat on agency specific data located within the files or maps.
- Knowvation GS scans and processes your organization’s information continuously, and based on the information contained creates geospatial coordinates that can then be shown as related to a specific point or area on a map of any type, any where in the world.
- And, our new AI module learns how and what your users do with information, giving you Geospatial AI capabilities.
- Knowvation can support any OCR and text recognition capability, including ABBYY, AWS Textract, and Azure web services such as Form Recognizer.
- Knowvation uses a robust content management technology that enables organizations to find and use their data – all their data, whether it’s structured or unstructured (pictures, PDFs, contracts, Excel files, images, maps…) . The key is “federating” technology that allows for creation and searching of a master index of an organization’s data regardless of its repository type or location. Knowvation automatically discovers data stored in file shares, databases, and other systems such as SharePoint. Additionally, our new AI capabilities can “learn” over time how your users utilize information, and prioritize that.
