15. Knowledge
Center:
made
possible
by
Solr
Scalability
and
low
TCO
gives
us
ability
to
build
new
features
• Knowledge
Centre
has
logs
of
all

in
SMART
InSight
• This
would
be
too
costly
with
a
commercial
Search
Engine
and
would
not
be
feasible
in
a
database
Using
this
rich
data
we
can:
• Profile
users,
groups
and
networks
• Personalize
Recommenda:ons
• Create
social

• Usage
