ApexKB

ApexKB is a collaborative search engine that is powered by social bookmarking. It uses peer and social-networking principles to tag and link distributed content, media, or data to make valuable information more easily discoverable.

ApexKB empowers users to compile and share collaborative bookmarks by crowdsourcing their knowledge, experience and insights using knowledge tags. Users tag, link, and rate structured data and unstructured data sources, including relational databases, flat file databases, medical imaging, content management systems, and any network file system. It is an interactive, user-submitted recommendation engine which uses peer and social-networking principles to reference any information located in distributed storage devices, either inside or outside the firewall, and capture the collective knowledge about that content, media, or data. ApexKB is enterprise web-infrastructure for tagging and linking information resources. ApexKB lets users search and share high-value content, media, or data across remote locations using knowledge tags to capture knowledge about the information in distributed storage. It collects these tags in a tag profile. The tag profiles are stored in an interactive knowledge base and search engine. ApexKB is a web application written in PHP and Javascript. ApexKB runs on any industry standard web server such as Apache, Microsoft Internet Information Services, Lighttpd, Hiawatha, Cherokee or Zeus Web Servers. Jumper by default supports storing of the tag profile and associated knowledge tags within MySQL. ApexKB can, however, easily be configured to support Oracle database, IBM DB2, and Microsoft SQL Server as the back-end database. In addition, ApexKB can be integrated with LDAP for user and group management.
