# Glossary

A
- ACI (Autonomy Content Infrastructure)
  A technology layer that automates operations on unstructured information for cross-enterprise applications. ACI enables an automated and compatible business-to-business, peer-to-peer infrastructure. The ACI allows enterprise applications to understand and process content that exists in unstructured formats, such as email, Web pages, Microsoft Office documents, and IBM Notes.
- ACI Server
  A server component that runs on the Autonomy Content Infrastructure (ACI).
- ACL (access control list)
  An ACL is metadata associated with a document that defines which users and groups are permitted to access the document.
- action
  A request sent to an ACI server.
- active directory
  A domain controller for the Microsoft Windows operating system, which uses LDAP to authenticate users and computers on a network.
C
- Category component
  The IDOL Server component that manages categorization and clustering.
- Community component
  The IDOL Server component that manages users and communities.
- connector
  An IDOL component (for example File System Connector) that retrieves information from a local or remote repository (for example, a file system, database, or Web site).
- Connector Framework Server (CFS)
  Connector Framework Server processes the information that is retrieved by connectors. Connector Framework Server uses KeyView to extract document content and metadata from over 1,000 different file types. When the information has been processed, it is sent to an IDOL Server or Distributed Index Handler (DIH).
- Content component
  The IDOL Server component that manages the data index and performs most of the search and retrieval operations from the index.
D
- DAH (Distributed Action Handler)
  DAH distributes actions to multiple copies of IDOL Server or a component. It allows you to use failover, load balancing, or distributed content.
- DIH (Distributed Index Handler)
  DIH allows you to efficiently split and index extremely large quantities of data into multiple copies of IDOL Server or the Content component. DIH allows you to create a scalable solution that delivers high performance and high availability. It provides a flexible way to batch, route, and categorize the indexing of internal and external content into IDOL Server.
I
- IDOL
  The Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL) Server, which integrates unstructured, semi-structured and structured information from multiple repositories through an understanding of the content. It delivers a real-time environment in which operations across applications and content are automated.
- IDOL Proxy component
  An IDOL Server component that accepts incoming actions and distributes them to the appropriate subcomponent. IDOL Proxy also performs some maintenance operations to make sure that the subcomponents are running, and to start and stop them when necessary.
- Import
  Importing is the process where CFS, using KeyView, extracts metadata, content, and sub-files from items retrieved by a connector. CFS adds the information to documents so that it is indexed into IDOL Server. Importing allows IDOL server to use the information in a repository, without needing to process the information in its native format.
- Ingest
  Ingestion converts information that exists in a repository into documents that can be indexed into IDOL Server. Ingestion starts when a connector finds new documents in a repository, or documents that have been updated or deleted, and sends this information to CFS. Ingestion includes the import process, and processing tasks that can modify and enrich the information in a document.
- Intellectual Asset Protection System (IAS)
  An integrated security solution to protect your data. At the front end, authentication checks that users are allowed to access the system that contains the result data. At the back end, entitlement checking and authentication combine to ensure that query results contain only documents that the user is allowed to see, from repositories that the user has permission to access. For more information, refer to the IDOL Document Security Administration Guide.
K
- KeyView
  The IDOL component that extracts data, including text, metadata, and subfiles from over 1,000 different file types. KeyView can also convert documents to HTML format for viewing in a Web browser.
L
- LDAP
  Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. Applications can use LDAP to retrieve information from a server. LDAP is used for directory services (such as corporate email and telephone directories) and user authentication. See also: active directory, primary domain controller.
- License Server
  License Server enables you to license and run multiple IDOL solutions. You must have a License Server on a machine with a known, static IP address.
O
- OmniGroupServer (OGS)
  A server that manages access permissions for your users. It communicates with your repositories and IDOL Server to apply access permissions to documents.
P
- primary domain controller
  A server computer in a Microsoft Windows domain that controls various computer resources. See also: active directory, LDAP.
V
- View
  An IDOL component that converts files in a repository to HTML formats for viewing in a Web browser.
W
- Wildcard
  A character that stands in for any character or group of characters in a query.
X
- XML
  Extensible Markup Language. XML is a language that defines the different attributes of document content in a format that can be read by humans and machines. In IDOL Server, you can index documents in XML format. IDOL Server also returns action responses in XML format.
