Review ZapNote: Epigraph ZapNote: Managing Ontologies and XML Data / ZapThink, LLC:The theory of the Semantic Web is that systems can interact autonomously by sharing a language as well as a logical framework for making decisions. Powered by XML and RDF, the Semantic Web offers a mechanism for informing systems of the context or intent of the information described. A core element of any Semantic Web system is the maintenance of a storage repository for ontologies and instance documents. Many Semantic Web systems thus become, in effect, Content Management system, enabling the management of vast amounts of XML data and providing mechanisms for users to edit and maintain ontologies. Epigraph's flagship product, Xcellerant, provides a visual and architectural management tool for housing all of the discrete components necessary for instituting a functional Semantic Web system, including workflow, version control, check- in/check-out, XML schema validation, ability to call elements via Web Services, user management and control, visual representation of data elements, and abstraction of the file management interface.

Review ZapNote: IONA ZapNote: A Service-oriented Integration Platform / ZapThink, LLC:The idea of Service-Oriented Integration (SOI) quite simple: rather than requiring systems to understand the details of a system in order to extract information, we can merely expose that system as a service and make queries to the service to meet our needs. SOI is merging different integration paradigms into a single solution set: integration between devices (from handhelds to mainframes), applications (such as Great Plains, SAP, and Siebel), B2B integration, and traditional EAI. IONA has released a platform known as the Orbix End-to-Anywhere (E2A) Web Services Integration Platform that sets the context for a very wide set of products covering the widest range of functionality in an SOI environment.

Review ZapNote: Epistemic ZapNote: Giving Real Power to Business Analysts / ZapThink, LLC:Traditional business intelligence (BI) solutions are often inflexible and incomplete, because they depend on rigidly structured data found in relational database systems (RDBMS). Such solutions often exclude nonrelational data, and force users into a "SQL query" mindset. Epistemic leverages the power of Web Services to break free from the traditional relational database/SQL query approach to business intelligence that poorly addresses non-relational data and provides intelligence of limited use. Where business analysts using these traditional tools must massage the results in Excel in order to analyze them, analysts using the Epicentric Analytics Toolkit can begin their analysis right away. Epistemic's use of Web Services provides two important lessons for other software vendors: first, Web Services can provide substantial value to vendors who do not consider themselves "Web Services vendors," and second, Web Services offer much more than simple point-to-point integration.

Review ZapNote: LogML ZapNote: Representing Web Statistics and Usage Information / ZapThink, LLC:The key concept behind the idea of data mining using web server log file information is that web site users are inherently "telling" the web server where the relevant information they are seeking is located, and what important information is needed so web masters can appropriately position the information for maximum efficiency. Rather than simply crawling through every page on a website, not always an efficient mechanism for obtaining this information, LOGML can be used as an XML repository for actual usage patterns.
