# The IDOL Platform

At the core of HTTP Connector is the Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL).

IDOL gathers and processes unstructured, semi-structured, and structured information in any format from multiple repositories using IDOL connectors and a global relational index. It can automatically form a contextual understanding of the information in real time, linking disparate data sources together based on the concepts contained within them. For example, IDOL can automatically link concepts contained in an email message to a recorded phone conversation, that can be associated with a stock trade. This information is then imported into a format that is easily searchable, adding advanced retrieval, collaboration, and personalization to an application that integrates the technology.

For more information on IDOL, see the IDOL Getting Started Guide.
