What’s a Bot • A bot is a software tool for digging through data. • You give a bot directions and it brings back answers. • The term “bot” has become interchangeable with agent or alert, to indicate that the program can be sent out on a mission, usually to find information and report back.
Spiders A spider uncover mass amounts of information • Spiders, at times, run wild looking for URLs over and over again in a loop. • Crawling, indexing, then filtering this information by keyword reduces the information overload to some extent • Examples: Google, moreover, portal agents, etc. • 99% of what you see in web search engines and internal search engines across corporate databases and document repositories.
A Problem “…according to market research house IDC, companies are generating more than 20 million web pages of content per day, and because around 85% of the data on the web is unstructured it estimates that, among the Fortune 1000 alone, difficulties accessing information will waste $7.5 billion this year.” • Computer Business Review, Sept. 12, 2002
Intelligent and Targeted Bots • Intelligent bots can make decisions based on past experiences, which becomes an important tool for data miners trying to perfect complex searches that delve into billions of data points. • A targeted bot does not follow urls but rather uses crafted formulas to pull back information targeted at particular information sources. This reduces the runaways and information overload.
Challenges: External Information Sources • Multiple Content Sources, Providers & Publishers • Internet • Content Aggregators (LexisNexis, Etc.) • Proprietary third-party publishers (BNA, Institutional Investor) • Overload & Overlook • Content delivery not personalized to the individual • IT does not understand content • No technical intermediary between content providers and knowledge administrators • Intellectual Property Issues: Content Licensing • Overburdened Bandwidth for retrieving then filtering information
What can be done • Pull together current awareness information from disparate content sources • Internet, Content Aggregators and other Proprietary Third-party Publishers • Provide powerful personalization • Each member of an organization only sees content for clients and topics critical to their work and interest • Deliver information as titled links • Content displays from provider’s system reducing bandwidth and storage issues • Deliver into any Intranet or Portal or as one consolidated Daily Email
