I just registered for the Semantic Web Day in Leipzig on April 29. This event is about sharing experiences and knowledge in the field of the semantic web and finally to build visions on future applications. If you look at the event’s programme you will recognize most of the known companies like Transinsight (with a speech on semantic search by Michael Schroeder), empolis (about enterprise knowledge management by Mario Lenz and Ralph Traphoener) and Netresearch (semantic content management by Thomas Fleck).

There will be also presentations about DBPedia, Triplify and Ontowiki from the AKSW (Agile Knowledge Engineering and Semantic Web) research group.

I just discovered the belgium company Whatever which launched a software in the field of knowledge management called Knowledge Plaza. Knowledge Plaza is focused on Enterprise Social Search methods which are roughly described here by a Whatever employee. Under the hood, Knowledge Plaza uses Apache Lucene core for Search (?) and Aperture for text extraction.
