kSpheres
Kinor has been pioneering leading semantic technologies to automate the integration of disparate data from multiple disparate sources for the past 10 years. Currently, these technologies are being engineered for delivery in the form of SaaS (Software as a Service) in a cloud, enabling a robust and affordable solution for a wide range of customer needs.
Kinor has developed kSpheres, a platform that automates the entire process of obtaining large quantities of data from various sources, integrating it and making it useful to each specific client at a fraction of the cost of alternative solutions. This platform obtains necessary data from any source (e.g. web, deep web, news feeds, databases etc.) in a manner and form that suits the task at hand. Input from disparate sources, different formats and different languages can be merged in a meaningful way. kSpheres is infinitely scalable and allows for simple integration of new sources as they are discovered thus, this knowledge is kept up-to-date automatically, efficiently, and in a costeffective manner. kSpheres also features an API which enables the development of proprietary applications.
