You need Virtuoso because Knowledge is power or competitive advantage (depending on how you choose to exploit it). All Knowledge comes from Information. Information is produced from Data. The Internet is reducing the cost of accessing Information, thereby increasing the appetite and rates at which Information is produced and consumed. Unfortunately data required for the production of Information simply does not reside within one database engine within your organization. Whether you know it or not it is highly probable that the quest for critical information within your organization actually requires traversing several data sources served by numerous database engines from different database vendors. http://docs.openlinksw.com/virtuoso/whatisnewto2x.html virtuoso.docs@openlinksw.com virtuoso.docs@openlinksw.com Key Features of Virtuoso 2008-09-09T11:44:52Z Key Features of Virtuoso
