The request is for a database driven management tool, to manage a back-end search engine we bought from Autonomy Software ([login to view URL]). This is already running our server.
**The ASP.NET application that needs to be developed, is a user interface to a numer of tables and a Autonomy search server back-end.**
It collects data in database tables to train ‘agents’. By feeding an agent lots of example documents, it is able (in Autonomy) to recognize other documents with similar contents. It is used for building a categorization system.
So, if you feed an agent lots of documents about Soccer, then when a new article about soccer comes in, the agent can recognize it as belonging to the soccer category.
**The scope of this project is just to build the front end to collect enough data for the training. The actual back-end that does the categorization using Autonomy is an existing application. All I/O with Autonomy is through the HTTP protocol.**
