Semantica Pro - quick, very basic overview

Hello Dev Fam,

Today I'm learning about this Semantica Professional application. It's an application that retrieves data from various sources (i.e. data sources), allows a user to aggregate the data, allows a user to view a summary of records retrieved, allows a user to create some reports from the data retrieved, and has many other functions. It's primary use is to create ontology reports. I think.

My team is creating plug-ins (libraries to be added into this application which shape how the application looks and can be used) for Semantica. Some of these plug-ins are very large and complex. Others are simple and small. It's a pretty nice tool, but there is a steep learning curve to using this tool. In addition, there is a steep learning curve in coding this tool. This seems to be a Java Enterprise application and plenty of JavaBeans are used.

Here's the beautiful the entry screen.


Here's the application's user environment. This is the application and it's like a reporting tool but with many powerful features to search for information on various data sources and configure report views.


I can't go into further details of this application since I didn't develop this and would like to be respectful to the vendor (and developers). But, this is a very nice tool! I just wish they had some quick web tutorials or video clips within the installation to help people like me learn this application much quicker.
