Seekda: The Business Point of View

  • Chapter
Semantic Web Services

Abstract

Industry is slowly picking up on the use of semantic technologies within their systems. In this chapter, we describe how these technologies are employed by seekda, a company focused on Web services. The aim of seekda is to ease the search, interoperability and bundling of services and make them readily usable in various areas, for example, in e-Tourism. This is done through the use of a crawler, a search portal and a service bundle creator. An application of these technologies within a seekda product—seekda! connect—is also described.
