"... Grokker builds precise and detailed knowledge maps containing visual cues and relationships between the data. The map itself contains powerful metadata that vividly describes the "nature" of the data collection. The Grokker product enables map generation and the ability to collaborate, extend, edit, delete, save, and share any attribute or subset of the map. Because the map contains only the records' metadata, it has a small footprint on the desktop or, most importantly, the PDA or other handheld device with limited storage space. The actual records, such as HTML pages, are accessed by traversing the web with a web browser. This approach allows the Grokker to negotiate any type of network, file system, or database saving time, resources, and most importantly, generates far more useful results. ..."
