v-Knowledge Core Components
 


1. v-Repository
This module is responsible for the storage of information internally in v-Knowledge making it the sole repository of data in the enterprise. Data need not be stored in this repository and may also be stored in a distributed environment in any other external source such as employee’s folders and files on the network server. Regardless of the location of the stored data, this repository is responsible for tracking, indexing and referencing this data.

2. v-AIME
Databases and the software that interrogates them requires constant management and tuning which must be performed to prevent inefficient application and worse still, system failure. Users can invest enormous amounts of human resources that equate to huge hidden expense to keep the system operational. v-Knowledge does not have or require this type of hidden resource or expense. The v-AIME module (Automatic Index Management Executive) is the system administrator that performs ALL the necessary checks and balances and housekeeping tasks without ANY user interaction. This module manages the workflow, indexing, housekeeping and system integrity of v-Knowledge. The system requires no outside, third party or third party software to keep v-Knowledge up and running or to have all its functions and databases in sync. and in tune. This module provides automatic roll back and automatic recovery in the event of system, hardware or network failure.

3. v-Harvester
As the name suggests, this module is responsible for making itself aware of all information within the enterprise and reporting this information (not copying) to the v-Repository module. The v-Harvester module can also be further manually programmed to forcefully go to specific servers, sites or locations and harvest information for the v-Repository module. These locations can be internal or external to the enterprise.

4. v-Search
The user, from a Web Browser, may search the v-Repository module for all internal and external information and be directed to appropriate information that meets the search criteria. V-Search provides the user with a dictionary and thesaurus listing on specific targeted areas to assist with the search process. This module can also simultaneously search other external databases on the World Wide Web assisting the user with information from resources external to the enterprise.

5. v-Message
This module can be a substitute for the enterprise e-mail but does not necessarily have to be utilized. V-Message looks and feels the same as e-mail with most, if not all, e-mail functions. One important distinction is that v-Message does not permit access to enterprise communications to those who are external to the enterprise. Specific users in the enterprise can transmit and receive e-mails from this module to external e-mail clients and addresses. Regardless of whether this messaging system or the enterprises’ email is used, this module harvests ALL e-mails and reports them to the v-Repository so they can be searched and referenced by other authorised personnel.

6. v-Audit
The v-Repository for v-Knowledge not only receives data from a myriad of sources but also handles requests for this information from a host of users. v-Audit provides a window to the audit trail of these deposits and requests.

7. v-Collaboration
This suite sets a framework for interested and authorised parties to participate in officially documented discussion forums that enhance the total information gathering process. v-Collaboration can be used by other non-participating employees of the enterprise to contribute to the organisations’ global objectives.

8. v-Chat
Any communications relating to the organisations’ operations should be through this suite. The advantage is that it is totally open to all personnel and all information in this forum is indexed and made searchable for future research
