Founded in 2000, Metatomix is the leading semantic services solution provider. Our Metatomix Semantic Platform leverages open standards such as OWL and RDF to integrate data and define and uncover relationships amongst disparate formats in order to provide real-time 360 degree views of key processes across the enterprise. We do this by creating a real-time integration layer that non-invasively accesses data from any source (including unstructured content) and transforms it into information that improves your understanding of what “really” matters. As a result, Metatomix offers business users a broader, more informative view of their business by linking structured and unstructured data to create an informative, common view of enterprise data to trigger business process that can be acted upon in real-time.

STI International Projects and Initiatives:
The SOA4All research project aims at realizing a world where billions of parties are exposing and consuming services via advanced Web technology: the main objective of the SOA4All project is to provide a comprehensive framework that integrates complementary and evolutionary technical advances (i.e., SOA, context management, Web principles, Web 2.0 and semantic technologies) into a coherent and domain-independent service delivery platform. http://www.soa4all.eu/
SUPER is an integrated research project funded by the European Commission Sixth Framework Programme. The major objective of SUPER is to raise Business Process Management (BPM) to the business level, where it belongs, from the IT level where it mostly resides now. This objective requires that BPM is accessible at the level of business experts’ semantics. To fulfill this objective, the project aims at providing a Semantic Web Services framework able to acquire, organize and share the knowledge embedded both in business processes, systems and software, and human expertise. http://www.ip-super.org/
ACTIVE aims to increase the productivity of knowledge workers in a pro-active, contextualised, yet easy and unobtrusive way. The aim is to convert tacit and unshared knowledge – the "hidden intelligence" of enterprises – into transferable, interoperable and actionable knowledge to support seamless collaboration and to enable problem solving. A key aspect will be the support for informal procedural knowledge - the informal collaboration and problem-solving tasks that drive much knowledge work in the enterprise. http://www.active-project.eu/
NeOn is a joint international effort of 14 European partners aiming to improve the quality of software support for managing the lifecycle of semantic resources and applications in an open collaborative environment that is characterized by contextualized, evolving and networked ontologies. http://www.neon-project.org/
