“Last week POPS—the expertise location service we built for NASA—went into production as an Agency-wide application; it’s thought to be the first 'institutional' (that is, business) Semantic Web app deployed Agency-wide at NASA”
“We’re very proud of this accomplishment. It’s proof that SemWeb technologies like RDF and SPARQL are useful for building information integration problems.”
“And despite all the OWL—and, especially, OWL DL—work we do, this demonstrates that we’re also a pretty good 'shallow end' SemWeb app company, too.”
Absolutely. It's great to see examples such as this one, in which Semantic Web technologies 'simply' get on with making something mundane but necessary that little bit better, that little bit more functional, that little bit more able to play in the wider web of data.
I wonder what a Semantic Space Shuttle would look like? :-)
