Version 0.8 Released

ccleve — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 03:47:16 +0000

We’re getting there — 0.8 is now out. Big changes in this release: 1. The Item class now carries a binary version of the document, which can be useful for transmitting and saving it in a pipeline stage. It’s also useful for the second big change: 2. DocFilters are now a stage in the pipeline. The DocFilter interface has been refactored to look like a stage. This makes it much easier to handle documents that should generate multiple items. (Imagine an XML file with multiple subitems, or a large document that should have one item per chapter). It’s also a much cleaner design, because now connectors don’t need to know anything about DocFilters.

Plenty of bug fixes and small niceties added. Check it out.

Say Hello to OpenPipeline

admin — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 17:11:33 +0000

OpenPipeline is new open source software for crawling, parsing, analyzing and routing documents. It ties together otherwise incomplete solutions for enterprise search and document processing. OpenPipeline provides a common architecture for connectors to data sources, file filters, text analyzers and modules to distribute documents across a network. It includes a job scheduler and a full UI with a point-and-click interface.

It comes fully functional with prebuilt components, but also integrates third-party modules. Plugins for crawling content management systems, parsing special file formats, and performing text analytics are available.
