ES Update
ES Update
• Slow start
– Hardware and Comms
– TIDE overhead
– Relationships with content owners
– Access to content, rather than metadata
– Voyager Team Roles and Responsibilities
• Show working software
• Index whatever we can
• Repeat…
ES Architecture
• Outstanding questions
– Need architecture diagram
– Agree on integration path with Autonomy
– Single catalog vs. distributed catalogs
– Indexing pipeline
Way Forward
• Build on CASi success
• Distributed indexing and software at the CTP
level
• Let us work directly with your team
– Index existing services, catalogs etc
– Continue work with ES/IS Team
• Comments and ratings
• Fitness of use
– Explore ideas with AWP team
