Autonomy is the first company to fully automate XML tagging for knowledge management applications.
Autonomy CEO Mike Lynch believes XML standards can be very useful in helping companies turn their vast repositories of word processing documents, email messages, news articles and other archives into a coherent and accessible base of knowledge. Requiring employees to tag their own documents is not the answer, either. But put yourself in the shoes of the average employee. You've just written a potentially useful email message. According to Lynch, the cultural barriers are tremendous.
