"%VOSWARNING%\n\n\n%META:TOPICPARENT{name=\"CorporateCommunications\"}%\n---+ OpenLink unleashes latest edition of Virtuoso \n\n---++ A Semantic Web Technology-based solution for Enterprise Information & Data Integration\n\nBurlington, MA. June 22, 2008 - OpenLink Software, Inc., \nannounces the immediate availability of the latest edition of OpenLink Virtuoso,\nits industry-acclaimed hybrid data-server and integration platform for \nSQL, XML, RDF, and Web Services. This release introduces a new approach \nto enterprise information and data-integration, leveraging recent \nadvances in Semantic Web technology and the best practices of HTTP-based \nLinked Data across heterogeneous data sources. The new release provides \na platform for declaratively developing and deploying conceptual views of \ndisparate enterprise data sources such as SQL databases, XML and RDF data \nsources, and SOA-based Web services. \n\nVirtuoso enables end users, systems architects, systems integrators, \nand developers to interact with data at the conceptual as opposed to \nthe traditional logical level. Data about customers, suppliers, \ninvoices, orders, etc., stored in existing ODBC- or JDBC-accessible \ndatabase systems such as Oracle, Informix, Ingres, SQL Server, Sybase, \nProgress, PostgreSQL, or MySQL, \ncan easily be presented in RDF form for use in Semantic Web applications.\n\n---+++ New Features\n\n * Meta Schema language for exposing SQL, XML, and Web Service data as \nRDF Linked Data\n * On-the-fly transformation of Web Services into RDF Linked Data\n * SPARQL Query Language support, facilitating powerful holistic views and traversal \nof enterprise data relationships\n * Transparent integration of SPARQL and SQL, such that SPARQL is executable \nfrom SQL via ODBC, JDBC, OLE-DB, or ADO.NET\n * [[VirtSPARUL][Support for]] the [[http://jena.hpl.hp.com/~afs/SPARQL-Update.html][SPARQL/Update]] \n(SPARUL) extension of SPARQL\n * Data-referencing across database instance, machine, and network boundaries\n * Use of HTTP/1.1 transparent content-negotiation for unobtrusive \ninjection of RDF-based Linked Data, projecting existing infrastructure \ninto the broader Semantic Web without disrupting ongoing activities.\n * [[VOSRDFDataProviders][Storage Providers]] for [[VirtJenaProvider][Jena]], \n[[VirtSesame2Provider][Sesame]], [[VirtRDFDriverRedland][Redland]]\n * [[VOSArticleBISPARQL2][Business Intelligence Extensions for SPARQL]] -- \nexpressions in results, aggregates, grouping, and derived tables.\n * Significant enhancements to the inference support, enabling \n[[VOSArticleWebScaleRDF][web-scale RDF support]]\n\n---+++ [[VirtInstallationEC2][Amazon EC2 instance now also available]]\n\nNewly available is an OpenLink Data Spaces AMI (Amazon Machine Image), bundling the Virtuoso \nUniversal Server, [[Ods][OpenLink Data Spaces]] (ODS), \n[[http://wikis.openlinksw.com/owiki/OATWikiWeb/OATWikiWeb/OATWikiWebIndex][OpenLink Ajax Toolkit]] \n(OAT), and a collection of 3rd party applications (Wordpress, MediaWiki, phpBB3, and others). In moments, \nthe ODS AMI delivers --\n\n * Point of presence on the Linked Data Web that meshes your Identity and your Data via URIs\n * SPARQL endpoint for SPARQL Protocol based access to your Data\n * (X)HTML based Interactive SPARQL Query Builder for SPARQL Query By Example\n * (X)HTML based Linked Data Browser/Viewer\n * System generated Social Network Profile & Contact Data via FOAF\n * System generated global Data Space overview via SIOC\n * System generated OpenID and automatic integration with FOAF\n * Transparent Integration with Facebook\n * Transparent integration with Amazon S3 for data backup and restore\n * Built-in support for SyncML, enabling data synchronization with Mobile Phones\n\n---++ Leadership via Innovative and Pragmatic use of Semantic Web Technology\n\n\"Effective combination of domain expertise with enterprise data-access \nand information-integration has been a challenging pursuit for \norganizations worldwide since the advent of the modern IT era,\" said \nKingsley Idehen, Founder and CEO of OpenLink Software. \"This release of Virtuoso \nintroduces a new generation of Semantic Web technology innovation, leadership and \npragmatism. Virtuoso delivers a technological solution that solves real business \nproblems today - such as integrating data that is associated with a variety of disparate \nschemas, served by databases from a variety of vendors,\" he added.\n\nSoeren Auer, of the DBpedia project, commented, \"DBpedia provides a \nsubstrate for exposing knowledge buried in Wikipedia. Virtuoso enables \nus to serve the vast amount of DBpedia knowledge via Linked Data and \nSPARQL endpoints combining both performance and resilience.\"\n\n\n---++ Broad Operating System Support\n\nThe new release is available in 32- and 64-bit forms, for Windows, Linux, \nMac OS X, FreeBSD, Solaris, IBM AIX, HP-UX, and other UNIX platforms. \n\n---++ Extensive Industry-Standard Support\n\nIndustry standards supported by Virtuoso include SQL, ODBC, JDBC, \nADO.NET, OLE-DB, RDF, SPARQL, GData, XML, XQuery, XPath, XSLT, XMLA, \nWebDAV, HTTP, OpenID, NNTP, ATOM-Publishing and more. \n\n---++ About OpenLink Software\n\nOpenLink Software is a privately held software company with offices \nin the U.S.A., United Kingdom and Netherlands.
