  • Preserve the value of legacy content

 

Designed for specialized archival and information center solutions, Open Text Collections Server (formerly Livelink ECM - Collections Server, or BASIS) excels at managing hybrid document collections consisting of both documents and their associated metadata. These special collections are further characterized by their significant size, scope and enduring value. The content is dense, often requiring concentration on specific subject matter where complex terminology benefits from thesaurus management. Moreover, the organization retains these intellectual assets for a long time; it is common to manage research collections that date back 75 years or more.

Used by major commercial and government information centers, Open Text Collections Server is ideally suited for:

  • Research and records management

  • Technical document publishing

  • Legislative tracking

  • Content archival

Features

Click each of the following features to learn more about Open Text Collection Server's key capabilities:

  • Extensive indexing options

    Collections Server provides extensive indexing options, including word and phrase, context definition, date conversion, native lexical capabilities such as plurals control and Soundex. Since keyword indexes may not be appropriate for all data types, Collections Server is flexible enough to let you define the index type best suited for the data to guarantee successful searches.

  • Robust term validation thesaurus

    The ANSI standard thesaurus is dynamically invoked at data entry for term validation with reciprocation, term switching and override. At retrieval, the Collections Server thesaurus provides search assistance through browse and select lists, term switching, disambiguation and search expansion of broader or narrower terms.

  • Hit-to-hit navigation

    Collections Server provides hit-to-hit navigation of search terms inside each document, enabling you to move directly to the page that contains your search term without having to read every page.

  • Index term browsing

    Collections Server enables users to directly browse the collection of indexed terms (data index & thesaurus), facilitating knowledge discovery.

  • Intelligent XML document import

    Intelligent XML document import maps tagged metadata into database fields for enhanced retrieval.

  • Compound fields

    Compound fields can be defined to store and discretely index lists of author names, companies, subjects, or other values that all apply to a single document. Unique to Collections Server, the ability to manage compound fields and differentiate each element is ideally suited to complex text database applications.

  • Storing, rendering, indexing and searching support

    Database support for storing, rendering, indexing and searching a large variety of document, image and multimedia objects.

  • Traditional field searching

    The ability to search structured fields and text in a single query ensures precise retrieval over large collections of related content. Context awareness helps users find content about a specialized concept, not just documents containing the search words.

  • Multiple user interfaces

    Variety of user interface and application development options for building Collections Server applications.
