Integration
VisuaLinks connects directly to your existing data sources, including any commercial relational database system and a variety of file types. VisuaLinks comes pre-configured to connect to several popular database systems and supports connections to virtually any commercially available database system.

VisuaLinks includes a powerful modeling system that helps you pull together data from different sources and create a single, consistent representation of the data for your uses. The modeling system provides a number of options that let you integrate your data, including the DisambiguatorĀ®, another powerful feature of VisuaLinks, designed to apply transformations to data values. The Disambiguator provides a multitude of built in functions and supports custom-built functions. Functions range from simple case conversions and data type conversions to value validation and entity extraction.

The modeling system gives you a great deal of flexibility in designing the data representation, including images used to represent entity types, relationship line types and colors, data labels, banners, and legends to name just a few.

Search and Retrieval
The VisuaLinks Services are data extraction routines that let users point and click to create a search while VisuaLinks automatically generates highly complex SQL queries to return the information to the user. These Services are generally the starting point for any analysis.
