The Cogito Knowledge Center is implemented in .NET and runs on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. All Knowledge Center SDKs provide C# APIs. The Graph Server also provides a standard Web Service interface through which applications on other platforms (such as Java) may access the system. COMPONENTS Graph Engine The Cogito Graph Engine provides the ability to create, modify, query, analyze, and operate on a graph store. The Graph Engine is used as a component of an application. The Graph Engine is embodied in a set of DLLs and is provided with an SDK.
Graph Server The Cogito Graph Server is a Windows service that hosts one or more graph stores for multiple clients. The Graph Server can only host existing graphs, it cannot create new ones.
Graph Server clients can be created using the Graph Server SDK. The Graph Server APIs are similar to the Graph Engine APIs, but have been optimized for remote access. For example, where the Graph Engine API has a method with which to retrieve a single node, the Graph Server API allows a client to retrieve a set of nodes in a single request/response transaction. The Graph Server API also provides asynchronous methods to better manage client/server interactions. The Graph Server also includes an optional Web Service interface, which may be installed to support SOAP-based interactions with other platforms such as Java-based systems. Data Integration Broker The Cogito Data Integration Broker (DIB) mediates, or brokers, data exchanges between a graph store and other data stores. It can extract data from multiple sources, transform it (in simple but useful ways), and load it into a graph data store or deliver the data to another process for further manipulation.
Web-based Administration Tools The Cogito Knowledge Center includes Web-based interfaces through which administrators may connect to and monitor one or more Graph Servers or Data Integration Brokers. The interfaces for both components can configure and monitor a dynamic set of server performance and behavior measures. The interface for the Data Integration Broker also provides pages for configuring data sources, destinations, queries, and event schedules.
Workbench The Cogito Knowledge Center Workbench is a Windows application for prototyping graph data stores and ingesting static data sets, browsing and diagramming the contents of those data stores, and understanding the information in those stores through ad-hoc queries and analytic tools.
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT KITS The Cogito Knowledge Center 2.3 includes software development kits (SDKs) for the Graph Engine and Graph Server. Each SDK contains:
You will need to include some or all of the DLLs with the applications you create. The rest of the material in the SDK is provided to support your application developers. Requirements (minimum): The Cogito Knowledge Center is a .NET-based Windows system that requires:
Some components have additional requirements:
Outbound marketing strategies push your message out to your target market. Inbound marketing strategies pulls your target market to you. Outbound feels intrusive. Inbound feels like a company cares. With outbound marketing strategies, you get your message out through product focused advertising and promotions; sales efforts; organizational public and media relations; customer service and customer satisfaction. This is marketing as we have come to know it over the years. It is needed once contact has been made, but it is not the best way to attract customers. All of these efforts try to get customers to buy first before they experience your excellent customer service and become satisfied customers. But today's buyers want to form a relationship before making a decision, not after the decision has already been made. They want customer satisfaction before becoming a customer. Outbound marketing techniques such as direct mail, telemarketing and trade shows have become less effective over time as buyers today behaviorally and technologically tune these intrusive campaigns out. Too often, businesses jump right to the outbound marketing. As a result, they end up trying to push products onto people who even if they really do want the products, don't want to be pushed. Effective inbound marketing strategies often lead to much more effective -- and less difficult -- outbound marketing and sales. Inbound marketing strategies and techniques focus on pulling relevant prospects and customers towards a business and its products. This approach pulls customers to your business instead of pushing your business on them. This pull helps the prospective customer know that you actually care about them, not just about their wallet. The greatest opportunities for inbound marketing are with technology. With inbound internet marketing efforts companies offer their readers useful information, tools and resources to attract prospects and customers directly to their store, while also interacting and developing relationships with customers on the web. Vital tools for inbound marketing include blogs, content and article publishing, search engine optimization, social media and social networks. The easiest and least expensive types of inbound marketing are done on and through the internet. This type of marketing complements the way buyers make purchasing decisions today. Today's buyers use the internet and related media to learn about the products and services that best meet their needs before they make a purchase. In fact, statistics reveal that 82% of buyers research on the internet before making their purchase. Your prospective customer may know exactly where your store is, but if it is beyond normal buying patterns, they'll probably check it out on the web before walking in your door to make the purchase. Since 82 out of 100 people will search the internet first, when they do a search for xyz widget, yourtown, usa, will they find you there? If not, they may figure you do not have what they are searching for. Those 82 will probably go somewhere else. |
