TopQuadrant announced that TopBraid Composer and TopBraid Live now include a Semantic email importer. This technology enables organizations to develop Semantic applications that combine email metadata with other data sources, which can be searched and analyzed. This allows organizations to answer business questions using a combination of data from email, relational databases, spreadsheets, XML, UML, RSS/Atom and Semantic data imported from GRDDL, RDFa, RDF triple stores, SPARQL endpoints.

“We are committed to moving the market toward ‘ultimate information integration,’ said Holger Knublauch, vice president, product development, TopQuadrant. “Ultimate information integration is the ability to quickly and easily combine data from every imaginable source – from within the enterprise and on the web. Email is one of the most-used business applications and often contains information not available within other enterprise applications or databases. Combining email metadata with other data creates a data set that when searched or analyzed, provides unique information about customers, prospects, partners and employees.”

The Semantic email importer feature is available as part of TopBraid Composer Maestro Edition and TopBraid Live - both are part of the TopBraid Suite of integrated semantic technology products. TopBraid Suite includes TopBraid Composer, an ontology modeling and development tool; TopBraid Live, a semantic application deployment platform; and TopBraid Ensemble, a collaborative information management application. All components of the TopBraid Suite work within an evolving open architecture platform built specifically to implement W3C semantic web standards.
