EXA Infosys Announces Significant New Technologies for Database Monitoring and Ontology

Arthur Tisi, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of EXA Infosystems Inc. announced today the release of a Beta Version of its new Data Monitoring and Ontology Engine codenamed P2U. This new technology is the result of over 20 man years of work in this area and is designed to give a user capabilities to be very specific about the conditions and restrictions of monitoring and understanding of the different definitions of the physical data to be identified with clarity and precision that should drive critical business decisions. All major databases and data feeds are supported and the P2U tool utilizes JDBC drivers and the Ontology tool is compliant with the Semantic Web RDF Specifications. The technology has been available in an alpha version for internal use and has been provided to a number of key strategic partners for internal use and evaluation.

Stamford, CT (PRWEB) March 30, 2007 -- Arthur Tisi, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of EXA Infosystems Inc. announced today the release of a Beta Version of its new Data Monitoring and Ontology Engine codenamed P2U. This new technology is the result of over 20 man years of work in this area and is designed to give a user capabilities to be very specific about the conditions and restrictions of monitoring and understanding of the different definitions of the physical data to be identified with clarity and precision that should drive critical business decisions. All major databases and data feeds are supported and the P2U tool utilizes JDBC drivers and the Ontology tool is compliant with the Semantic Web RDF Specifications. The technology has been available in an alpha version for internal use and has been provided to a number of key strategic partners for internal use and evaluation.

EXA's CEO, Arthur Tisi said, "These two technologies are vital for monitoring and understanding any type of data across physical platforms of any type - foe example, data across databases, websites and other platforms. In essence you can program a website to be automatically updated any time another website's information is updated or data in any database changes. You can also create a common language across computer systems and that is a main reason why Web 2.0 is based on Semantic Web. This is a very important set of tools if you want to manage data across different data sources."

The P2U platform uses some of the most advanced algorithmic, calculus and statistical programming available and was conducted as a global effort between EXA's technical teams in Moscow, India and Israel.

Tisi also praised the two leaders responsible for these advances, "Oleg Margolin and Oleg Alshansky are pioneers in the areas of data integration, business intelligence and analysis, they have found a seam in the data goldmine."

Oleg Margolin EXA's Chief Technology Officer (CTO), said, "This follow-on to our original research will make next generation research and real-time changes to data a reality. The fact is this is a huge step forward in the area of data monitoring using open architectures." He also stated, "

"The monitoring requires no additional access rights to the database except "read-only". The approach does not require any knowledge about database table structures given the fact that this tool discovers metadata and allows the user to have a complete and comprehensive view of the discovered metadata." Margolin made it clear that the understanding of semantic is key, "By building a web of complex ontological objects and describing their relationships, our tool creates a true foundation of the real world data integration capabilities that allows an understanding of the different definitions of the physical data to be identified with clarity and precision that will drive critical business decisions."

Oleg Alshansky, EXA's Vice-President of Development was the manager of the development effort. He stated, "The monitoring mechanism includes complex rule-based algorithms that gives a user capabilities to be very specific about the conditions and restrictions of monitoring.

In this regard, we have accomplished something very powerful while our Ontology tool is compliant with Semantic Web RDF specification making it easy to import/export ontologies that are created or used by other software tools"

Data monitoring and Ontological solutions have to date have been associated with relational data. With EXA's announcement , areas related to web based information are now incorporated into data models.
