Endeca - (Data|Input|Source) Record

About

Data records are input/source Data.

Records from a variety of sources are stacked in their native format based on shared attributes. This allows for the data to be:

• jagged (ie differing sets of attributes from one record to the next, from one source to another)
• semi-structured or complete unstructured (full-text indexed)
