To bring this about we are applying our deep competence in web information systems, particularly the semantic web, to the enterprise. In order to:develop an open, extensible information fabric that supports web scale integration of diverse information sources and knowledge bases
- seed an eco-system of information services which extract structure, mine patterns, discover links between items across the fabric
- develop a lightweight, resilient approach to information modelling that accommodates the heterogeneity, scale and rate of change of information relevant to the enterprise
- couple these to effective end user tools for contextual delivery, search and discovery - enabling knowledge workers to both exploit and enhance the collective knowledge base
- validate these technologies against specific vertical domains (such as IT Service Management) and horizontal tasks
