[MOBY-l] Invitation to The Semantic Discovery System V7 Beta Download

[Ian Goldsmid]

Hi all

Hopefully this message will have some relevance to some of you. This is a
one off announcement – I am not intending to post any other notices – at
least for several months. Thanks:
--------------------------------
The Semantic Discovery System (SDS) V7 Beta 2 is now available for download
and use for Non Technical Users, as well for Application Developers (you
will find there are two different license types available, one for End User
“Exploring” and one for Developers – THE LICENSES ARE EMAILED TO YOU A SHORT
WHILE, USUALLY 10-20 MINUTES,  AFTER YOU HAVE REGISTERED AT THE DOWNLOAD
SITE, LOGGED IN AND COMPLETED DOWNLOADING).

We’ve tag lined the product: Beyond Business Intelligence, from Analytics to
Discovery.

We are particularly excited about SDS’s capability to enable Non Technical
Users to integrate any number of Excel Spreadsheets. This makes it radically
easier to perform analyses, queries and reporting across multiple
spreadsheets without the usual cutting and pasting, consolidations of one
kind or another, and other productivity defeating manual preparations. WE
THINK THIS CAPABILITY IS UNIQUE AND IMMEDIATELY VALUABLE - BUT PLEASE TELL
US IF YOU AGREE OR NOT.

Connecting to Oracle Databases is also made as simple as it can be, such
that multiple Oracle and Excel data sources can then be Semantically Queried
from one Semantically Savvy Graphical Interface. 

SDS innovatively uses the latest W3C Semantic Web technologies to enable you
to radically improve the effectiveness and timeliness for capturing
intelligence , meaning and knowledge from your disparate Corporate Oracle
Databases, Excel Spreadsheets AND Web Services. All data sources connected
to SDS are effectively integrated at the Semantic level.

There is a short 11 slide introductory presentation here:

You can download the trial version here

When you’ve installed SDS you will find that there are numerous example
applications (Models/Ontologies & “canned” Queries) included. And you can
find detailed explanations and instructions on using these by downloading
the SDS CookBook here:

PLEASE REMEMBER THE SOFTWARE IS STILL IN BETA. SOME OF THE FUNCTIONALITY MAY
BE BUGGY ON YOUR PARTICULAR ENVIRONMENT. 
Please report any problems to: support at semanticdiscoverysystems.com  

We will respond immediately to any questions or issues. Your general
feedback about current and desired functionality will be highly valued.
