In today's environment of expansive global, networked enterprises, finding the information you need when it is buried somewhere among thousands of data sources can be a costly and time-consuming process. Keyword searches alone are simply not good enough. Using metadata can narrow the search and help you discover the information you need—even if it is buried among millions of data sources resident within your enterprise.

FGM's state-of-the-art discovery solution, Diogenes, is a fully DDMS-compliant publishing and discovery tool that incorporates geo-reference, author, subject, and pedigree, to enable federated searches of both structured and unstructured information. With a Web-based browser interface and a downloadable client interface, Diogenes advanced, high-performance search capabilities allow users to go beyond simple keyword searches. The built-in search engine, designed specifically for the DDMS catalog, gives users control over the discovery process.

Diogenes includes a publishing tool to simplify and automate the metadata capture process ensuring that the metadata is captured the moment the information is published into the enterprise. When direct, peer-to-peer information exchange is not optimal, Diogenes allows users to publish information resources to a "shared space."

Diogenes' proven architecture is capable of scaling to support millions of users in a secure environment, and a simple-to-use client and low bandwidth requirements extend net-centric publishing and discovery capabilities all the way to the tactical edge. Featuring both a web-based browser interface and a downloadable client interface for searching, Diogenes can be tailored to meet the bandwidth and processing capabilities of your users’ computing platforms.

The power of metadata-driven data discovery, as implemented in Diogenes, makes it easy for information producers to publish their information and for decision-makers to control the discovery process, allowing them to perform detailed, highly refined searches to quickly find the elusive, actionable information that they need wherever it may exist within the enterprise.

Harness the power of metadata-driven
discovery to serve your business.
