It's all about automating collaboration and interactivity, and enhancing social networking Koral, a provider of Enterprise 2.0 solutions for businesses, is making available a free-to-use Content Management solution in that class. By applying the <a href=http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2005/09/30/what-is-web-20.html#mememap"> principles</a> of Web 2.0, Koral aims to deliver an experience that complements the way that users work today. People can rapidly contribute documents to the system directly from their desktops. Koral even claims to analyze content and automatically recommends how to classify it. By replacing complex folder-hierarchies with tags and smart-searching technology, users can quickly find what they’re looking for, subscribe to their favorite topics and receive updates and recommended content via email and RSS feeds. The system also aims to ensure that everyone is working from the most current version of a document. When a user opens a previously downloaded document, the system will alert them if there is a newer version available and – with one click – show them what’s changed compared to their desktop version, says the company. www.koral.com <script type="text/javascript">google_ad_client = "pub-7258139694566163";google_ad_width = 300;google_ad_height = 250;google_ad_format = "300x250_as";google_ad_type = "text_image";google_ad_channel ="";google_color_border = "CC99CC";google_color_bg = "E7C6E8";google_color_link = "000000";google_color_url = "00008B";google_color_text = "663366";</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script>http://www.content-wire.com/content-management-2-0-01132012800Content Wireadminaggregation,Development,development environment,development tools,functionality,Microsoft,stake,w3c,Web 2.0,web applications,World,XMLXML support for VisualstudioFrom directly within the Visual Studio 2005 development environment, developers can access the functionality of XMLSpy 2006 to build XML-based applications.

The first six months of 2002 have seen 7,630 overt digital attacks on Linux systems, already significantly higher than the total of 5,736 for the whole of 2001. On the other hand, overt attacks on Microsoft Windows/IIS based online systems taking place in the first half of 2002 have fallen by 20% to 9,404 from the 11,828 attacks that occurred in the first half of 2001. [Source: mi2g SIPS database] The Linux systems attacked deploy open source third party applications, certain versions of which contain well-known vulnerabilities, which are not being patched fast enough and continue to be exploited by hackers to gain control of the systems hosting the insecure application. "The key issue in protecting critical infrastructure is tight configuration management which demands a 24/7 monitoring of vulnerability announcements and associated exploits. A quick response in addressing all weaknesses as soon as they are known has now become critical," explains DK Matai, mi2g's Chairman and CEO. The total number of overt digital attacks taking place in the first six months of 2002 rose by 27 percent to 20,371 from 16,007 in 2001. Slump in attacks on Government online systems Only 54 US government online systems were successfully attacked in the first half of this year compared to the 204 overt attacks that took place in the first half of 2001. A total of 38 UK government online systems were overtly attacked in the first six months of 2001, rising to 45 by the end of the year, yet the number for the first half of 2002 is only 12. The US Cyber Security Enhancement Act (CSEA) As fears deepen over the threats posed by asymmetric warfare, terrorism and the phenomenon of politically motivated hacking, government bodies and agencies are becoming more security conscious, as evidenced by sharp falls in the number of online government systems succumbing to overt digital attack. Another factor is the increasing reluctance of hackers to become involved in attacks on US government sites after the amendment of the Cyber Security Enhancement Act (CSEA) in the US in February 2002 following increasing concern over the vulnerability of the world's IT systems to terrorist attack. The CSEA gives a life imprisonment sentence to those who put lives at risk by electronic means and affords the US Sentencing Commission greater powers in deciding penalties for hacking offences.http://www.content-wire.com/internet-security-digital-attacks-open-source-soar1012521600Content Wireadminaggregation,Companies,content acquisition,content management,Content Management,content management software,content management solution,content management solutions,content technology,document management,Documentum (stellent),earnings,economy,financial management,investors,lifecycle,management market,management solutions,management technology,management vendors,market research,market share,money,partnerships,publishers,research analyst,revenue growth,revenue share,software vendors,targets,Technology,technology companies,technology research,technology solutions,TridionContent Management, the bright sideBetter than expected financial results point the way forward for a struggling WCM market, say analysts by Paola Di Maio 1 February 2002 Over the last few weeks, 4th quarter financial results have been posted around, and some content management companies, especially very large ones, have been showing their wounds. Pitching a technology solution at the ‘Fortune 100’ companies, generally means ‘our technology costs at least a quarter of a million’. But investors are opening their eyes, and fewer are prepared to buy technology at face value. Slowly but surely technology buyers are becoming wiser, better informed, and able to choose. The technology lifecycle is rather unpredictable, and actually, for what we have seen over the last decade or two, it is a often a question of newer, faster, less expensive and easier to manage solutions that steal the limelight. But before that happens, some smarts will make loads of money, and some other will make lots of mistakes A brief posted by Gartner Research, summarises the results of some companies who are not doing bad after all, and from which the industry could learn. Mark Gilbert writes: <li> Documentum announced its earnings for 4Q01. In the quarter, the company posted earnings of $0.02 per share on revenue of $50 million — both numbers down from 4Q00 (earnings of $0.11 per share, revenue of $59 million) but meeting or exceeding Wall Street’s expectations.</li> <li>Stellent announced that it recorded revenue of $26.6 million for fiscal 3Q02, ended 31 December 2001 — up 36 percent from $19.5 million in fiscal 3Q01.</li> <li>Percussion Software, a private company, announced 26 percent growth in annual revenue for 2001, compared with 2000.</li> <li>Tridion, a private European WCM vendor, achieved 60 percent growth in revenue from 3Q01 to 4Q01</li> Gilbert comments “Although Gartner forecasts that the market’s financial troubles and consolidation will continue through 2002, Documentum’s profit and the substantial revenue growth of Percussion, Stellent and Tridion show that the worst may be over and that some WCM vendors will likely resume normal growth” The positive reports from these vendors point the way forward for the market as a whole. Documentum and Stellent have combined document management with WCM functions, notes the analyst. He also predicts more partnerships among the various types of vendors and small WCM vendors to become acquisition targets. www.gartner.comhttp://www.content-wire.com/content-management-bright-side1002754800Content Wireadminaccess digital,aggregation,content delivery,content delivery service,content management,Content Management,content management services,content management solution,content technology,customer service,delivery service,delivery solution,digital delivery,digital rights management,Digital Rights Management,investors,management market,management technology,marketing,marketplace,Media,new technology,Politics,publishers,revenue opportunities,science,service revenue,Technology,time to market,vice president,web content,web content management,web usersOnline Licensing and Content Delivery Service To Go Major Publisher deploys DRM solution 11 October 2001 Copyright Clearance Center (CCC), a licensing agent for text reproduction rights, and CMP Media have adopted Rightslink, CCC's digital rights management solution, on InformationWeek.com.

Grammatical analysis methods such as syntax, semiotics, and semantics, originally derived from disciplines such as philosophy and languages, are now increasingly adopted by computer science, in order to equip mathematical modelling and artificial intelligence with the advanced qualitative and cognitive abilities typical (in best cases) of humans. But next-generation search technology will be more sophisticated than keyword searching and will offer better understanding of language and meaning. Information retrieval technologies are becoming increasingly vital as the amount of data available grows exponentially. Offering maximum relevance and contextualized search results is a most precious asset for an online enterprise, together with the ability to target and profile users. Relevance and recall - the breadth of the search - generally vary inversely: the higher the precision of the search result, the lower the recall, and vice versa. Searching by its very nature is not a binary 'yes' or 'no' exercise, says a recent paper by Mohomine, but a logical navigation through complex and infinite semantic networks. Even Bayesian logic, a relatively modern method of computing dynamic pattern recognition, has limitations: it requires ample sample data to be analyzed, and, given the availability of massive databases, to return a statistically meaningful pattern search, it requires very high system resources and computing power. Typical search architectures are based on crawlers, indexing and query software, while relevance is determined by keywords, and yes, by the amounts of cash paid by companies to be listed at the top. Contextual relevance and objective retrieval are further skewed by the forced relevance that is imposed on search results when payment schemes are adopted to prioritize certain entries over others, claim Mohamine, in a research paper entitled Desperately Seeking Search. Other distortions, like the three-to-six-week lag needed for new information posted on the web to be indexed, makes accurate, timely and relevant information very hard to find indeed: "Consumer search is notoriously poor at returning pertinent, useful information, especially because there's little innovation - there is no real monetization model in use for search services." For these and other reasons, the search models offered by most engines are very flawed and unsustainable, said Samir Samat, co-founder and CTO of Mohomine during a conversation a few months ago: "We are working on a search technology solution that is developing context-based spidering with high precision and recall, to allow customized extraction of information and personalized, automated information classification" he said.http://www.content-wire.com/search-models-are-skewed
