[IN2], the service oriented intellectual search platform from Saltlux Inc. won the Customer Satisfaction Award in the part of search solution by the Digital Times.
[IN2] supports service oriented architecture (SOA) and web 2.0 environments and enables to secure the economical feasibility and scalability in addition to the personal interests of customers through application of excellent text mining and semantic technology.
[IN2] exactly understands the search queries of users through automatic functions of classification, summarization and clustering based on text mining technology and through extension of ontology and semantic web technologies. It provides reliable search results through information search extension by relationship expression and by the intellectual reasoning function of computer.
[IN2] also reduces the economic burden of users through maximization of service utilization by linkage to SOA environment support, open API, and mash-up. It enables sustainable improvement of search quality through providing user function of search results and automatic ranking control.
Additionally, cross multilingual search and automatic translation functions will reduce the difficulties of information search in foreign languages. It also enhances the information accessibility through visualization.
Saltlux foresees the expandability of the off-shore business through Japanese Branch which will soon be opened and the successful launch of [IN2]DOR in Europe through a business partner who has its operational headquarters in Europe. Saltlux forecasts ramping-up its sales revenue abroad upto 40% of its total revenue in 2012.

Saltlux starts exporting [IN2]DOR to European market.
Saltlux Inc. (Saltlux), the leader in the information retrieval market through Search 2.0 and semantic web technologies in Asia successfully starts exporting its search engine, [IN2]DOR to Europe through its globally renowned business partner with headquaters in Europe who is specialized in the semantic web technology. (The name of the business partner will be announced later.)
Because of this European business partner of Saltlux has been doing their business in the North America in addition to the European countries, [IN2]DOR will be distributed through this partner and experienced by the users in the North Amerian countries as well as in the European countries.
[IN2]DOR is the next generation integrated retrieval engine that enables not only the retrieval of the structured data and text information but also enables the object retrieval of graphs, images and charts inside the documents.
Saltlux is knowledge content valuation company established in 1979.
Tony Lee, the President and CEO of Saltlux, says, “This business transaction of [IN2]DOR is the first result of our commercial activities in abroad and will be the stepping stone for Saltlux to become a global company in the field of information retrieval engine."

Paper Reading Session on “Recent Technology Trends of Semantic Web and the Guide to Its Utilization.” in Web World 2007 Conference
Mr. Eddy Choi, the Semantic group leader of Saltlux (http://in2.saltlux.com), has had a lecture on the market trends and utilization of semantic technology at the Web World 2007 Conference held in Seoul during the period of November 27 through 30, 2007.In the Web World 2007 Conference separate topics have been discussed; web planning and strategies on November 27th, web design and UI on November 28th, web development and technology on November 29th and internet marketing on November 30th.At the conference Eddy Choi has had a lecture titled “Recent technology Trends of Semantic Web and the Guide to Its Utilization.” In his lecture Eddy introduced the objectives and meanings of Semantic web, relationship of Semantic web with web 2.0, and present status of the semantic web development. He also showed the components and use cases of semantic web. The tendency of research of semantic web was discussed and the direction of development was suggestedEddy Choi, the lecturer is the Semantic group leader of Saltlux’s Human Language Technology Laboratory working on various projects related to context awareness, service oriented computing in addition to semantic web.
Saltlux Inc is the market leader in Semantic web technology and search 2.0 in Korea as well as in Asian market.

Social Graph & Beyond: Tim Berners-Lee's Graph is The Next Level
Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, today published a blog post about what he terms the Graph, which is similar (if not identical) to his Semantic Web vision. Referencing both Brad Fitzpatrick's influential post earlier this year on Social Graph, and our own Alex Iskold's analysis of Social Graph concepts, Berners-Lee went on to position the Graph as the third main "level" of computer networks. First there was the Internet, then the Web, and now the Graph - which Sir Tim labeled (somewhat tongue in cheek) the Giant Global Graph!
Note that Berners-Lee wasn't specifically talking about the Social Graph, which is the term Facebook has been heavily promoting, but something more general. In a nutshell, this is how Berners-Lee envisions the 3 levels (a.k.a. layers of abstraction):
1. The Internet: links computers
2. Web: links documents
3. Graph: links relationships between people and/or documents -- "the things documents are about" as Berners-Lee put it.
The Graph is all about connections and re-use of data. Berners-Lee wrote that Semantic Web technologies will enable this:
"So, if only we could express these relationships, such as my social graph, in a way that is above the level of documents, then we would get re-use. That's just what the graph does for us. We have the technology -- it is Semantic Web technology, starting with RDF OWL and SPARQL. Not magic bullets, but the tools which allow us to break free of the document layer."
Sir Tim also notes that as we go up each level, we lose more control but gain more benefits: "...at each layer --- Net, Web, or Graph --- we have ceded some control for greater benefits." The benefits are what happens when documents and data are connected - for example being able to re-use our personal and friends data across multiple social networks, which is what Google's OpenSocial aims to achieve.
What's more, says Berners-Lee, the Graph has major implications for the Mobile Web. He said that longer term "thinking in terms of the graph rather than the web is critical to us making best use of the mobile web, the zoo of wildy differing devices which will give us access to the system." The following scenario sums it up very nicely:
"Then, when I book a flight it is the flight that interests me. Not the flight page on the travel site, or the flight page on the airline site, but the URI (issued by the airlines) of the flight itself. That's what I will bookmark. And whichever device I use to look up the bookmark, phone or office wall, it will access a situation-appropriate view of an integration of everything I know about that flight from different sources. The task of booking and taking the flight will involve many interactions. And all throughout them, that task and the flight will be primary things in my awareness, the websites involved will be secondary things, and the network and the devices tertiary."
Conclusion
I'm very pleased Tim Berners-Lee has appropriated the concept of the Social Graph and married it to his own vision of the Semantic Web. What Berners-Lee wrote today goes way beyond Facebook, OpenSocial, or social networking in general. It is about how we interact with data on the Web (whether it be mobile or PC or a device like the Amazon Kindle) and the connections that we can take advantage of using the network. This is also why Semantic Apps are so interesting right now, as they take data connection to the next level on the Web.
Overall, unlike Nick Carr , I'm not concerned whether mainstream people accept the term 'Graph' or 'Social Graph'. It really doesn't matter, so long as the web apps that people use enable them to participate in this 'next level' of the Web. That's what Google, Facebook, and a lot of other companies are trying to achieve.
Incidentally, it's great to see Tim Berners-Lee 're-using' concepts like the Social Graph, or simply taking inspiration from them. He never really took to the Web 2.0 concept, perhaps because it became too hyped and commercialized, but the fact is that the Consumer Web has given us many innovations over the past few years. Everything from Google to YouTube to MySpace to Facebook. So even though Sir Tim has always been about graphs (as he noted in his post, the Graph is essentially the same as the Semantic Web), it's fantastic he is reaching out to the 'web 2.0' community and citing people like Brad Fitzpatrick and Alex Iskold.
