Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 25, 2008
Semantic Universe and Cerebra have joined forces to create the Semantic Universe Network, a vibrant online community and communications hub for the global semantic technology marketplace. The Semantic Universe Network will be the professional and educational resource for the people, companies, editorial content, events, products, advertising, research and initiatives within the high-growth semantics sector. The Network will be developed and deployed on a sophisticated semantic application platform to facilitate the highest level of user engagement, contextual relevancy and editorial resource matching. Initial launch of the Network is slated for January 2009, with enhanced features introduced shortly thereafter to implement sophisticated platform functionality.
According to Tony Shaw, co-founder of Semantic Universe, "The industry has long needed a vehicle to bridge the gaps between advanced research and commercialization of semantic technology, as well as a better way to connect developers, customers, entrepreneurs and investors. We believe Cerebra's semantic application platform with contextual matching and portable content-sharing capabilities is the perfect professional community enabler."
Numerous editorial contributors and industry bloggers are committed to participate in the Semantic Universe Network and charter sponsorships are now being offered to a select group of commercial developers. Says Brian Crook, President of Cerebra, "There is no better partner or more trusted source of industry information than Semantic Universe, and we are thrilled to work with them to develop the Semantic Universe Network and bring this community together. It couldn't be done without their impeccable credentials, deep relationships and industry credibility."
One essential component of the Semantic Universe Network vision is to make editorial content portable and sharable, pushing relevant information appropriately to the edges of the online community. Editorial assets will include content from Semantic Universe's rich media library generated from their Semantic Technology Conferences and web properties Semantic Universe and Semantic Report. This content includes blogs, webcasts, slide decks, video recordings, executive interviews, audio recordings, profiles, photos, press releases, product information and vendor announcements. Content will later include elements available from other web sources providing deep and balanced state-of-the-art coverage of semantic search engine technology, semantic applications, semantic advertising and marketing, linked data, data portability, and Web 3.0
