nSpace2™ is a document discovery and visual reasoning solution for data rich organizations that struggle with leveraging the vast quantities of unstructured data from both internal and public sources. nSpace unifies the process of locating relevant information elements within large documents stores, for the purpose of visual reasoning for investigations or research work. The nSpace solution consists of an integrated collection of web services that connect with existing data sources to provide an interactive environment for rapid document discovery, information extraction and freeform visual information organization. From within the nSpace environment, users begin by searching for relevant documents across their existing information infrastructure such as Oracle and MySQL databases, or public data sources such as Microsoft's Bing® web search. Searches are aggregated within a visual triage environment, enabling the user to rapidly filter results based on attributes such as places, people, key terms, etc. This process drills quickly into the search results, identifying the relevant and important documents to the user. The user can then extract all important information elements from the relevant documents, which are then placed into the nSpace Sandbox, an unstructured whiteboard space for visual layout and linking. Information elements such as text, images, maps and URLs are placed freeform in the Sandbox environment, allow the user to build up a visual picture of the information that they gathered. Information elements can be linked together, grouped and annotated quickly with a completely interactive drag and drop environment. These graphically organized spaces can be shared with others, and published to standard tools such as Microsoft Word or MediaWiki.
nSpace is currently deployed within the Defence Intelligence market and is scheduled for general release in the second half of 2010. For more information about nSpace, please contact a member of the nSpace team at: 416-203-3003, ext. 299 nspace@geotime.com
