The IBM® Content
Navigator services
provide the connections to the repositories. In addition, the services
support features such as search and document viewing across the repositories.

IBM Content
Navigator uses
the application programming interfaces (APIs) of each repository type
to establish connections to these repositories. You can create custom
plug-ins that use these APIs to perform actions on repository items.
IBM Content
Navigator also includes plug-ins
to support the following services:
- IBM Watson
Content Analytics plug-in
- Supports searching across different repositories and data sources
that are configured for use with IBM Content
Navigator. You can search with
simple or advanced queries. In addition, you can use facets to organize
and classify items, which makes it easier to find documents quickly.
The plug-in provides actions that you can use to work with the search
results. For example, you can edit documents that are returned by
the search or add the documents to workflows.
- External data service plug-in
- Supports integration of data from an external data source into IBM Content
Navigator. You can use this external
data to customize field properties and manage property behavior in IBM Content
Navigator.
To use this plug-in,
you must create a service to pass the data from the external data
source to IBM Content
Navigator.
