Spyder serves as an organization's aggregator, containing the full record of an organization's flows, intelligence, and insights. It is built on the following principles.
Thot Wave efficiently integrates and models an organization's data—regardless of type or volume—into a single, cohesive data asset that humans use to solve their toughest problems.
Instead of rigid rows and columns, Thot Wave can transform structured and unstructured data into objects and associated properties that represent real concepts (such as people, organizations, places, documents, and events) and the relationships that connect them. This Thot Wave data model is called a "Dynamic Ontology" because it can be re-defined over time, which makes it possible to integrate structured and unstructured data from many sources into a coherent whole. Most large data integration projects take years to complete, but Thot Wave operates within weeks.
Thot Wave offers a single point of search across internal and external data sources.
During discovery, users can explore data in its original format, as well as in an enriched view only available in Thot Wave. The platform's federation capability seamlessly integrates external systems so they continue to add value to the data ecosystem. Users can promote external records to fuse them with the intelligence in Wave, and relevant data is automatically surfaced to users for review, which simplifies analysis of large-scale data.
Thot Wave builds a version-controlled knowledge base that accumulates an organization's insights. This means that knowledge doesn't walk out the door when the user does.
Integrated data can be stored in Thot Wave's Revisioning Database (RevDB). Conceptually similar to distributed version control systems such as Git, RevDB allows analysts to branch and work in individual sandboxes until they are ready to publish findings to the organization. RevDB also reveals the provenance of all data and logs every step of analysis conducted in the platform. Organizations always understand where an insight came from and how they reached it, and users can view snapshots of the data ecosystem to understand organizational knowledge at specific points in time.
Thot Wave makes organization-wide collaboration possible through stringent, platform-wide security.
Every piece of data is tethered to its original data source, where access restrictions can be applied at the level of the individual attributes that describe an object (e.g., a building's address, a vehicle's model). These permissions govern how people interact with data. All user and administrator interactions with the system and the use of information to which they have access are recorded in audit logs. These audit logs can additionally be configured to be tamper-evident. Security capabilities extend across the platform, so new data that users create is subject to the same standard of security, auditing, and history. By maintaining data security and integrity, Thot Wave supports insight sharing and collaborative intelligence across organizational boundaries; across security and data models; and across low-bandwidth, high-latency networks.
Thot Wave is a fundamentally extensible platform that maximizes openness and control over the environment.
Thot Wave interoperates smoothly with common programming languages, external systems, and software products through industry-standard REST APIs, while the platform's open APIs allow users to build new capabilities. All operations performed via Java and REST APIs are subject to Thot's security, audit logging, and safety checks, and all data can be exported in an open XML format for use in other frameworks. Conjure, Thot's open-source toolchain for HTTP/JSON APIs, generates client and server bindings in a variety of languages from a declarative API definition written in YAML. As technology evolves, Thot Wave is built to keep pace so that organizations have what they need to do their most important work.
