The Synaptica team is in Denver this week doing strategic planning, or as I say, scheming ! ;) There are a great number of really interesting problems in information management, and it's fun and rewarding to brainstorm ways of solving them. We're not the only ones scheming and it's great to see the market itself growing.

David Provost this week published a Global Review of the Industry and Leading Vendors in the Semantic Web space titled On The Cusp: A Global Review of the Semantic Web Industry in which Synaptica from Dow Jones and Dow Jones Client Solutions were highlighted. Dow Jones is in a unique position as a software vendor, consulting services provider and deployer of semantic solutions, which made for a great conversation - I highly recommend you read the report. (Not just because I was involved!)

Paul Miller has posted on his ZDNet blog a review of the report New report places Semantic Web ‘On the Cusp’ of something big. Paul adds some great commentary to his summary of the report, should you not be able to get through David's entire document at once.

Happy Reading!
