NetworkedPlanet launches new Web3 Platform to help firms free up data
Despite the gov.data.uk site leading the way, UK businesses are being slow
uo follow suit and improve access to their data. To combat this, NetworkedPlanet has
announced the launch of its server platform, Web3, providing businesses with a complete
solution for creating, organising and publishing structured data.
Web3 helps improve internal and external access to data, making it easier for users to find
what they are looking for and allowing organisations to easily manage the data they publish.
The platform stores information in a schema-less way, allowing data of any shape to be
managed without the need to involve a database administrator, keeping costs down and
allowing businesses to keep up to date with changing data standards. It also features easy-
to-use APIs and can access and merge together data from different systems, meaning it can
be easily utilised by any organisation.
“With the public expecting greater access to local and national government data, tools like
Web3 can make the process of publishing data much easier. Any kind of large organisation
is now handling vast amounts of data, and need a solution that lets them effectively add,
remove, sort and search this information. Ultimately, Web3 allows users to navigate data in
the same way that they think, rather than being constrained by traditional data hierarchies,”
comments Kal Ahmed, director at NetworkedPlanet.
‟There has been a definite push in recent months towards making government data easy
to access by the public. While many businesses are wary about doing this themselves,
there are many advantages to taking this approach. Enterprises can improve the way they
store and manage their data, and improve internal efficiency, if they implement the Web3
solution,” he adds.
Web3 can be used
by enterprise and public sector bodies wanting to improve access to internal data and
knowledge. As well as making it easier for internal staff to search for and use relevant
information, Web3 can be used to share data with partners and to publish data to establish
the business as a definitive data source.
NetworkedPlanet adds concept based search and navigation functionality to
SharePoint 2010 with Concepts for SharePoint
30 July 2010 – NetworkedPlanet has today announced
the launch of Concepts for SharePoint, a plug-in for SharePoint 2010. The new software
provides enhancements to SharePoint's taxonomy and tagging features, allowing users to
more efficiently search and manage their corporate data.
The release of Concepts for SharePoint builds on the improved taxonomy and tag
management of the latest version of SharePoint. It makes it easy to search for tags
themselves, build pages for each individual tag and create complex relationships between
them, helping present comprehensive and natural search results.
“People tend to search for concepts rather than specific terms or document names.
Concepts for SharePoint lets people search and navigate tags and concepts and display
all information related to them, providing a much more natural way to explore and find
information,” comments Graham Moore, director at NetworkedPlanet.
