Areas ofexpertise: | CNet is a leading-edge software house specialising in semantic-based knowledge and content systems. We are developing systems to aquire, organise, personalise and share the knowledge embedded in web, databases and multimedia content. Our technologies achieve semantic interoperability between heterogeneous information sources and services, and allow our customers to maximise automation of the knowledge life cycle. We are focused on content rich industries such as news and media, construction and facility management and professional publishing, but any company or organisation that needs to improve their knowledge management and streamline information flows will benefit from our solutions. The core in our offering is Visual Net Server, a semantic annotation server. It is used to capture knowledge from raw information and multimedia content in webs and other distributed repositories to turn poorly structured information into machine-processable knowledge. This allows our customers to improve their work flow efficiency and streamline business processes reducing their costs. Our semantic technologies also allow our users to organise their digital assets and deliver tailor made information products and services to their customers. Other products include NewsToBuy for knowledge and content management as well as Termado for management of ontologies and term catalogues and adEtransact for information exchange in the advertising industry. CNet has participated in the following EU projects:

Role in the project: | Our main role in Hydra is as a software developer, leading WP 6 "SoA and MDA middleware", especially exploiting our knowledge and expertise in web service design and development and semantic technologies. We are also a main contributor to WP 3 "Architecture Design Specification" and participates in WP 4 "Embedded Architecture". Finally we are involved in dissemination and will also be one of the commercial exploiters of the project results. |
