The most recent version of a Universal Server Platform for enterprise information integration and management, which uses Semantic Web technology, was released by OpenLink Software, Inc. on the 31^st of January. The product is an extensive solution for a number of aspects of an organization, such as Data Management and Integration (SQL, XML, and RDF), Application Integration (Web Services and SOA), Business Process Management using BPEL, and Distributed Collaborative Applications. The architecture contains a Virtual Database Engine comprised of an XML Database, an RDF Triple Store, an SQL Database, Web Services, and a Free Text Engine. The Virtual Database Engine is built on top of a Unified Storage Engine that enables storage of XML, SQL, RDF, and Free Text data. The main contribution of the application is that data about many entities which are part of a company’s operations, such as customers, suppliers, invoices, and orders can be represented in RDF form, and is thus transferable to Semantic Web applications. A Meta Schema language is used to view SQL, XML, and Web Service data as RDF linked data. SPARQL is also fully supported.
