Needlebase™, a data aggregation platform developed by ITA Software, can be used across any domain or industry. It empowers users to quickly and easily acquire, integrate, cleanse, analyze, and publish data on the web – without programming.
Needlebase is available as a secure, hosted service for all enterprises and end-users who want to:
- Harvest structured data from websites or feeds to build a vertical search engine or enrich existing data
- Reconcile multiple data sources, such as web, XML, CSV files, spreadsheets, and more, into a consistent database
- Automate updates to ensure content is always fresh and error-free
Since its introduction in January 2010, Needlebase has received many positive reviews and was a finalist in the 2010 MITX Technology Awards within the Technology Enabler category. The editor of the Village Voice referred to Needle as “nothing short of miraculous!” after using the platform to clean, filter, tabulate, and analyze data for its music poll, Pazz & Jop. Read the full case study to learn more about Needlebase and the Village Voice.
As ITA has its roots in the travel business, one of Needle’s first uses was to create a travel destination activity listing including event listings, tours, attractions, and restaurants. To see an example of how Needlebase data enriches the airfare search experience, try a month-long calendar search on ITA Software’s Matrix 2.
Outside of travel, Needlebase is being used by dozens of customers and trial users to organize data in domains as diverse as real estate, job listings, conferences, government records, and sports.
If you are interested in becoming a trial user, or would like to use Needlebase’s existing travel-related content for your website, please visit www.needlebase.com or contact our Needlebase team.
