PoolParty GraphSearch Overview

The PoolParty GraphSearch (former sOnr webMining Content Aggregator) automatically collects content from multiple external sources and nodes from the Drupal-website and presents them in Drupal, filterable by date, geographic region and extracted tags of the content.

This module was completely rebuilt for Drupal 8 and published at a new Drupal project available here, releases for Drupal 7 will still be updated in the current module.

Features

  • Aggregated data is stored in an Apache Solr Server, PoolParty GraphSearch is used for all the required actions to work with the data. Therefore the Semantic Connector module is used for communication with the PoolParty GraphSearch server.
  • If PPT & PPX (PoolParty Enterprise Edition) are used for a semantical annotation of the aggregated news, the concept schemes and top concepts of the SKOS Thesaurus can then be used to provide a powerful filtering system (faceted search) on news.
  • Automated geo tagging can be used to filter news by geographic regions.
  • Agents, which aggregate the content, can be configured inside the module configuration.
  • This modules offers a wide range of options to configure the resulting output. If the option you need is not available inside the module's configuration-page, you can use hook_views_pre_build for the content and hook_form_FORM_ID_alter (form-id = "sonr_webmining_filter_form") for the filters to alter every single detail of the output.
  • The block "PoolParty GraphSearch Content" (and if "seperate blocks" is turned on in the module's configuration also the block "PoolParty GraphSearch Filters") can be added anywhere on the website.
  • Every item in the list of aggregated content offers the possibility to show similar content items by one simple click on "More like this".
  • The Sub-module "PoolParty GraphSearch Trends" can be used to show the trends of recently tagged content depending on the current filter-selection.
  • PowerTagging is flawlessly working together with all sub modules of the Semantic Connector.
