ACI API 24.1

# Glossary

A
- ACI API
  The programming interface for HPE IDOL products. You can use this interface to create custom applications that use ACI servers, such as the IDOL Content component. IDOL SDKs are available for several different programming languages to allow you to develop with the ACI API.
- ACI Server
  A server component that runs on the Autonomy Content Infrastructure (ACI). The ACI API controls communications with ACI servers.
- action
  A request that can be sent to ACI Servers, for example a query.
- Autonomy Content Infrastructure (ACI)
  A technology layer that automates operations on unstructured information for cross-enterprise applications. ACI enables an automated and compatible business-to-business, peer-to-peer infrastructure. The ACI allows enterprise applications to understand and process content that exists in unstructured formats, such as email, Web pages, Microsoft Office documents, and IBM Notes.
C
- connector
  An IDOL component (for example File System Connector) that retrieves information from a local or remote repository (for example, a file system, database, or Web site).
D
- data index
  An IDOL Server index that stores content data. You can customize how to store data in the Data index by configuring appropriate settings in the IDOL Server configuration file.
- database
  An IDOL Server data pool that stores indexed information. The administrator can set up one or more databases, and specifies how data is fed to the databases. By default contains the databases Profile, Agent, Activated, Deactivated, News and Archive.
I
- IDOL SDK
  DIOL Software Development Kit. A programming language-specific binding that allows you to develop applications that use the ACI API to communicate with ACI servers. HPE releases IDOL SDKs for C, Java, and .NET.
- IDOL Server
  The Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL) Server, which integrates unstructured, semi-structured and structured information from multiple repositories through an understanding of the content. It delivers a real-time environment in which operations across applications and content are automated.
- IDX
  A structured file format that can be indexed into IDOL Server. You can use a connector to import files into this format or you can manually create IDX files.
- indexing
  The process of storing data in IDOL Server. IDOL Server stores data in different field types (such as, index, numeric and ordinary fields). It is important to store data in appropriate field types to ensure optimized performance.
- Intellectual Asset Protection System (IAS)
  An integrated security solution to protect your data. At the front end, authentication checks that users are allowed to access the system that contains the result data. At the back end, entitlement checking and authentication combine to ensure that query results contain only documents that the user is allowed to see, from repositories that the user has permission to access.
Q
- query
  A string that you submit to IDOL Server, which analyzes the concept of the query and returns documents that are conceptually similar to it. You can submit queries to to perform several kinds of search, such as natural-language, Boolean, bracketed Boolean, and keyword.
X
- XML
  Extensible Markup Language. XML is a language that defines the different attributes of document content in a format that can be read by humans and machines. In IDOL Server, you can index documents in XML format. IDOL Server also returns action responses in XML format.
