Advanced Source Management

Source management is intrinsically an advanced topic, especially when taking into consideration Community Edition's highly flexible, and extensible platform with its own customization engine.  For advanced source management topics a development background and firm understanding of concepts such as natural language processing (NLP), and big data are essential.  Advanced users can consult the API Reference, as well as Developer Guides and Tutorials.
