The Interlaced Systems Technology Platform consists of a three-tier architecture that addresses the understanding language problem.

The DNLE foundation tier supports intelligent, content-aware storage, retrieval, and transformation of documents in multiple formats and sources.

An integration tier - Interactive AI - built on top of the foundation, utilizes the DNLE core services to provide the infrastructure and high-level interface of artificial intelligence services to enterprise applications and business processes.

The top application tier provides standards-based programming models and a flexible API, and a user-interface, to support access to the rich set of services and data provided by the foundation and integration tiers.

Interactive AI is the integration tier that makes applications seem smart.

While DNLE provides a host of powerful services, they aren't very useful if application developers don't know what to do with them. Knowing what to store and when to store it, and understanding what to search for and when to search for it, is critical to enabling the real power of DNLE as a platform for building systems with artificial intelligence capabilities. By providing a higher-level layer of services, Interactive AI abstracts away the complexities of the low-level DNLE services and leverages those services in ways that may not be immediately apparent to the software developer.

• Interactive AI is implemented as a Microsoft Windows .NET Webservice.
