Software as a Service (SaaS) Version of MAIstro
MAIstro, Data Harmony's integrated combination of a Thesaurus Master and M.A.I., is now available on a subscription basis.
Access Innovations will host clients' controlled vocabulary project(s) on its server. The MAIstro client can run on any computer operating system that hosts Java (Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Solaris, etc.)
To augment the ready access to build, modify, and manage a controlled vocabulary and rule base, a thesaurus viewer is available (in seven different views) for sharing the vocabulary with others.
Our traditional client-server license is still available for clients wishing to run the Data Harmony engine on their own production server; however, the SaaS license eliminates the need for that server and the IT maintenance it requires.
M.A.I., Data Harmony's Machine Aided Indexer, is an automated categorization product that can be enabled via a web services call. It can be integrated into an organization's workflow, where most effective, to add subject term metadata to documents, articles, and other content. M.A.I. can also be used with an authority file of proper names to identify and attach other types of metadata to existing content.
Alternatively, Access Innovations can do the processing of electronic collections for metadata population. Access Innovations also offers thesaurus building, pre-built taxonomies, and other editorial services.
A live web demonstration is available for those considering either the SaaS or owned license options. A free trial of Data Harmony MAIstro is also available to help determine which option is most appropriate.
