“The Watson Explorer foundational components are comprised of the following installable modules:
Application Builder
Simplifies developing 360-degree information applications that deliver targeted, relevant data to users
based on their roles or interests within the enterprise or a specific organization.
Watson Explorer Engine
Provides a web-based development and deployment environment for enterprise information navigation
applications.
Annotation Administration Console
Provides a web-based administration tool for configuring custom and domain specific text analytics
that can enhance Watson Explorer 360-degree view and content mining applications.
IBM Knowledge Center
Provides online help for IBM Watson Explorer Foundational Components and IBM Watson
Explorer Analytical Components.
Results Module
Enables local administrators of enterprise information navigation applications to easily extend those
applications with business-specific highlighting of selected query results and by incorporating domain-
specific knowledge such as taxonomies.
ZooKeeper
Provides a distributed coordination service and associated data repository for storing configuration
information about distributed applications.”
The available Watson Explorer foundational component modules are:

Add oneWEX Datasource
For a oneWEX data source, enter the fully qualified URL of the oneWEX instance. The URL takes
the following form: http://hostname:port/
https://localhost/admin/main/#/admin/datasets
The process to use oneWEX as a data source for Application Builder is the same as for
a Watson Explorer Engine backend:
1. Index the data. For oneWEX, that means that you upload data to
the oneWEX instance.
2. Add the data source in Application Builder. In this case, the data source is oneWEX.
3. Create entity types. For oneWEX, you connect the entity types to an instance and
collection.
4. Use the entity type as you develop your entity model and application.

* The value for the userFilter and userIdMap user entry attributes
("sAMAccountName" in the following example) should be set in
Application Builder in the user entity's "Identifier" field. If you
use the LDAP directory as the data store that populates the user
entity, it is optional to select the value from the "Login with field"

authorize user names that are authenticated with the LDAP registry,
you must select the value from the "Login with field" list.
