Near production quality tool deployed at Air Force Research Lab’s Human Performance Directorate for biologists doing research in human performance and cognition. Paper: VideoAnywhere, Taalee Semantic Search Engine, Taalee MediaAnywhere, Voquette SCORE, Semagix FREEDOM: 1998-2006 In an industry funded project, VideoAnywhere set out to become a based manager of videos on local systems, interactive TV and broadband/Web (Clemens Bertram). In Java-based implementation, semantic technology (domain model associated metadata) was the key differentiator. As broadband content on grew, we developed MediaAnywhere, a semantic-faceted search engine which exploited domain specific ontologies with automatically aggregated background knowledge and disambiguated (somewhat similarly to GKB) with automatic semantic Licensed to found VC funded Taalee (1999). We initially developed the Faceted Semantic Search Engine for broadband content on Web during Example customers: , ). Upon merger with Voquette (2002), we developed SCORE, a semantic web application development platform and digital content delivery platform Also developed apps like Passenger Threat Product/System papers: , Application papers: , , Presentations: , , (Probably the first keynotes on SW and also on commercial SW products and/or services.)
annotation of textual and media content. Search was followed by semantic browsing, connecting the dots and more focused application over semantic technology. More details: , Taalee was the VC funded software/internet company in Athens and surrounding region, and paid $6+ million in payroll and other direct economic activities in the economy of Athens, GA before the company was acquired and moved to Atlanta, GA. Assessment; customers include a pharmaceutical company and NASA). Upon merger with Semagix (2004), we develop FREEDOM, and focused on selling vertical industry applications, with biggest success in deploying Know Your Customer (KYC) in a majority of world’s top 30 financial institutions. I left Semagix its acquisition by Fortent in 2006; it is now Actimize: some original Taalee employees and apps like KYC were still employees as of 2012. Roles: Taalee: Founder, COB, CEO; Voquette: Exec.VP; Semagix: SrVP-all R&D, later Chief Scientist.

different formats, source code, etc.). Web search (i.e., attributed-based or faceted search) of annotated Web accessible and Intranet documents. Its 1993, 1994 implementation used Mozilla (Leon Skylar; later Leon lead development of GeoHaress). Remained available until 2000 and was used in Baby Bells. My biggest related disappointed was the failure in convincing Bellcore business managers to target Web search market rather than limiting it to telco apps. METEOR: 1990-1994 METEOR2: 1995-1999 METEOR was among the earliest multiparadigm (supporting transaction and nontransaction/user tasks) workflow management system (WfMS) (Krishnakumar). METEOR2 used emerging middleware and Web technologies resulting in two implementations: (1) WebWork (John Miller), one of the earliest web-based WfMS, and (2) ORBWork (Krys Kochut), one of the earliest truly distributed workflow management systems. Note: METEOR2 was followed by a semantic Web Services version, but METEOR, developed at Bellcore, had internal technology with a product team (for the workflow component) and was also used in significant application like Child Immunization Tracking; work continued at UGA. METEOR2 was used to start up and was licensed by Infocosm Inc.
