Core Modules

Platform Building Blocks

🔄

Stream Ingestion

Batch and real-time data pipelines with schema validation, deduplication, and idempotent write guarantees. Supports JSON, XML, CSV, and raw PDF parsing.

🧠

Semantic Processing

Transformer-based NLP pipeline for NER, relation extraction, sentiment analysis, and multilingual translation alignment. GPU-accelerated inference.

🕸️

Hybrid Knowledge Graph

Property graph + RDF triplestore hybrid. Stores entities, relationships, citations, and confidence scores. ACID-compliant with eventual consistency reads.

⚡

Dual-Mode Search

Lexical + vector hybrid search. Supports BM25, cosine similarity, and semantic re-ranking. Query optimization via adaptive caching and materialized views.

🔌

API Gateway

Rate-limited, auth-secured edge routing. OpenAPI 3.0 compliant with automatic SDK generation. Webhook support for real-time graph updates.

🛡️

Audit & Lineage

Immutable event log for all data mutations. Full provenance tracking from source ingestion to final index state. SOC2 Type II ready.
