Ontopia works through partners to provide services

AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, 19 APRIL 2004 - Ontopia AS, the world's leading vendor of topic map technology, and its two Dutch partners, Diderot Track and Morpheus Software, demonstrate a variety of business applications using topic maps at the Ontopia Booth #118 at XML Europe 2004.

Steve Pepper, Chief Strategy Officer, says "Ontopia’s focus is to develop world class software and support local partners in providing complementary services, such as ontology design and application development."

The OKS, Ontopia’s flagship product, uses the powerful Topic Maps model to enable the rapid development of complex systems. Using the OKS, integrators can create representations of diverse information and knowledge models, and then access and manipulate them with a common tool set and query language.

"As a knowledge engineering services provider, we can apply the topic maps model to a wide range of knowledge management tasks, including agent technology and portal development," says Gabriel Hopmans, CEO, Morpheus Software.

"We focus on structure, storage and distribution of organizational or inter-organizational information," says Aad Kamsteeg, CEO, Diderot Track. "Ontopia’s implementation of Seamless Knowledge through topic maps in the OKS is an ideal tool to give stakeholders control over and wide access to information."
