Dow Jones’ ‘DNA’ Test
The platform will provide analysts and developers with more flexible access to Dow Jones content, officials say.
The data is also being made available on platforms including Google BigQuery, RavenPack and the IBM Cloud for Financial Services. Developers can choose to access the data from their own premises or via cloud environments. This is the first time Dow Jones has opened up its archive of news and data to customers, partners and their developers in its 130-year history, vendor officials say.
The platform leverages cloud computing and a web services interface to provide scalable data access via three mechanisms: DNA Snapshots that enable extractions of archive data for users wanting to mine large amounts of content; DNA Streams, which provides streaming content and data for users that need to act on information in real time; and DNA API, which provides functions to look up, search and transact with Dow Jones data.
Snapshots and Streams provide access to Factiva’s premium news archive of thousands of licensed sources, including content from Dow Jones Newswires and The Wall Street Journal. The DNA API provides access to Dow Jones’ news and content, as well as information on public and private companies.
“We envision DNA as being the definitive source of trusted news and data, creating the framework for a new ecosystem of solutions,” says Chris Lloyd, head of Dow Jones’ professional information business, in a statement. “The launch of DNA marks a significant milestone for Dow Jones, as we look to build on our expertise in creating, curating and categorizing content, and add to that the ability to distribute this in more flexible ways. We are also working with a number of partners, who are recognized as leaders in their fields, to power their own innovation.”
