Stratify

Incorporating Stratify into your project allows you to classify unstructured source data, for example, Web pages, PDF documents, and Microsoft® Word documents, for use in Endeca Guided Navigation applications.

About integrating Stratify taxonomies
Stratify taxonomies are used to evaluate unstructured data for cases where information does not exist in a database, character-delimited file, or other easily-classifiable format.
How Endeca and Stratify classify unstructured documents
Endeca components and Stratify components communicate closely during record processing to classify each unstructured source document. The process is outlined below:
Overview of the integration process
There are two main phases to integrating a Stratify taxonomy and Stratify classification capabilities into a Developer Studio project. You perform the first phase using Stratify tools. You perform the second phase using Endeca tools.
Required Stratify tools
In addition to installing and configuring the Endeca Information Access Platform, Endeca Developer Studio, and the Endeca Application Controller, you must also install and configure a Stratify Discovery System 3.0 before you begin the integration process.
About preparing to integrate Stratify
In order to run Stratify on your data, you need to set up a taxonomy for it to work with, and create a pipeline that includes Stratify classification abilities along with your taxonomy.
About integrating a Stratify taxonomy
To integrate a Stratify taxonomy into your pipeline, you must create a new dimension adapter and run a baseline update to transform the XML and load the dimension values. A second update is required to process and tag your Endeca records after mapping the source values.
