Source Identifier module functionalities

Discovery and data collection

The Source Identifier agent keeps you updated on the new sources that need to be tracked. This agent can run searches on several lists of search engines at a time, at regular intervals, and thereby generate a list of relevant sources, identifying both new sites and the articles they contain.

Queries

Enter your own key words to build up queries relating to your intelligence subjects. Source Identifier will regularly run this query on 3 lists of specialist search engines (news, RSS feeds and websites).

Alerts

As soon as a new source appears (webpage, RSS feed or news), you receive an alert indicating the name of the source and its address (URL).

Activate monitoring

With just one click you can:
- start tracking the newly identified relevant source
- validate and store in your intelligence folders any interesting articles found in the new sources

Technology

Source Identifier uses Digimind’s exclusive technology designed to query invisible web search engines, thus giving you access to sources either not indexed or badly indexed by traditional search engines (like Google and Yahoo!).
