Installing Optique platform

Procedure

Optique uses the Information Workbench (IWB) from fluidOps as integration platform for the different components of the Optique solution.

1. Go to the fluidOps AppCenter signup/login page.

2. Sign up for an account.

3. Wait for the confirmation e-mail. This may take up to 24 hours.

4. Log into the AppCenter

Once registered and logged in to fluidOps appcenter, fluidOps will provide either:

A local installation package :

1. Download and install the version corresponding to your OS of the Information Workbench (IWB) (for help see Resources below or readme file in the .zip package).

2. Start IWB.

3. Download the Optique core from App Center.

4. Install the Optique core as an App to the IWB

4.1. Move the .zip file to the apps folder of IWB.

4.2. From the menu Settings > Configuration & Setup > Platform Apps menu, upload and install the App.

5. Download the Optique components from App Center.

6. Install the Optique components as an App to the IWB by repeating steps 4.1 and 4.2 above.

7. Optional: If you wish to install the Northwind tutorial or Northstream demonstrator as an App to the IWB, please contact appcenter@fluidops.com.

A Cloud based Platform as a Service

1. Please contact appcenter@fluidops.com asking for access to the Northwind tutorial or the Northstream demonstrator as a PaaS instance.

How much time is spent searching for data?

Engineers in industry spend a significant amount of their time searching for data that they require for their core taks. E.g., in the oil&gas industry, 30–70% of engineers time is spent looking for and assessing the quality of data. (Crompton, 2008)

How much value could be created in that time?

Numbers provided by Optique partners Siemens and Statoil suggest that Optique could free up a substantial amount of expert time annually in these two companies alone. The potential benefit from a more effective analysis of the data will be even higher.

Optique: a paradigm shift for data access

The project will provide a semantic end-to-end connection between users and data sources. The Optique platform will feature an intuitive, general, but adaptable end-user interface. Data can be integrated from multiple, also streaming, data sources, with the possibility for large-scale parallel cloud processing and storage.

Optique: a unique combination of technologies

The Optique project brings a unique combination of technologies to bear on Big Data challenges: An end-user-oriented query interface; scalable query rewriting from the end-user to the source vocabulary; temporal and real-time continuous stream processing; scalable storage and query evaluation using elastic clouds.
