Networked Planet Web3 Platform

web3 platform

The Web3 Platform is a complete solution for creating concept-centric publishing and information management solutions. The Web3 Platform can be used by any organisation to create a concept-centric information model that can be navigated by end users. The concept-centric approach to information management promotes the things people think of as the main organising metaphor. Concepts can be related to other concepts and as such create a mesh of related concepts. Navigating these concept models improves an individual's ability to find relevant content, concepts and people. In online commerce solutions this means more people finding the product they want, in intranet information management solutions this means that the amount of time to find information is reduced and the quality of information found is improved.

The Web3 Platform provides the following key features:

  • Silverlight ontology and taxonomy building tools
  • Silverlight form based concept editor
  • RESTful services for managing semantic data
  • Support for RDF, Topic Maps, TMCL, RDFS, OWL, ATOM, and SPARQL
  • Support for Public or Enterprise Linked Data publishing
  • Default and configurable concept page templates for navigating knowledge
  • Support for SD-Share protocol for the integration of enterprise data
  • Support for a security model over semantic data, including integration with Active Directory

Concepts for SharePoint

Designed specifically for Microsoft SharePoint 2010, Concepts for SharePoint provides simply the best way to organise and find content in SharePoint. Concepts for SharePoint allows organisations and users to build knowledge models that can then be used to organise and navigate information. Concepts for SharePoint extends the new taxonomy management features in SharePoint 2010 to provide full ontology and information modelling capabilities. Site wide concept pages act as information hubs, connecting concepts with each other and with SharePoint content. Concepts are fully first class items in the SharePoint environment and as such can be indexed and found as results in SharePoint search.

Concepts for SharePoint provides complete integration with the SharePoint publishing model allowing concepts to have their own pages. Pages can be built using Concepts for SharePoint customizable Web Parts. These Web Parts can show relationships to other concepts, links to SharePoint items tagged with the concept and also the results of complex knowledge queries.
