Webcast: MongoGraph - MongoDB Meets the Semantic Web - October 12
Join us - Wednesday, October 12 at 10AM Pacific.
MongoGraph is an effort to bring the Semantic Web to MongoDB
developers. We implemented a MongoDB interface to AllegroGraph to
give Javascript programmers both Joins and the Semantic Web. JSON
objects are automatically translated into triples and both the MongoDB
query language and SPARQL work against your objects.
Join us for this webcast to learn more about working on the level
of objects instead of individual triples, where an object would be
defined as all the triples with the same subject. We'll discuss the
simplicity of the MongoDB interface for working with objects and all
the properties of an advanced triplestore, in this case joins through
SPARQL queries, automatic indexing of all attributes/values, ACID
properties all packaged to deliver a simple entry into the world of
the Semantic Web.

Oil and Gas Industry - Franz and TopQuadrant Join Forces
Franz Inc. and TopQuadrant Partner to Deliver Semantic Reporting
System for the Oil and Gas Industry. Partnership Powers ReportingHub
Solution for operators on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
Franz Inc., the leading supplier of Graph Database technology, and
TopQuadrant Inc., the leader in semantic data integration, have
announced their extended partnership to deliver solutions for the
Exploration & Production Information Management Association's (EPIM)
Reporting Hub.
For the past four years, EPIM has been working with the industry
solving its problem of collecting, normalizing, validating, analyzing
and reporting data about activities of the North Sea oil and gas
drillers. To realize the full potential of the information about $40
billion worth of petroleum produced annually on the Norwegian
Continental Shelf, EPIM envisioned the ReportingHub as standards based
information-exchange solution.
