Cerebra Demonstrates Current Use of Semantic Technologies in Business Applications at Premier Data and Metadata Conference; Commercialization of the Technology Particularly Important to Data Architects.

CARLSBAD, Calif. -- Cerebra(R), Inc (formerly Network Inference), the leading provider of standards-based semantic technology for the enterprise, will be exhibiting and speaking at next week's DAMA Symposium and Metadata Conference, the premier event for data professionals.

Vickie Farrell, V.P. of Marketing at Cerebra, said: "The adoption of semantic technology has really accelerated over the last 12 months or so. Early implementations have proven the technology's capability. The enthusiasm of our partners in incorporating it into their solutions prove its value. The W3C's adoption of language standards further establishes its viability. We're now in the commercialization phase, and who better to architect an organization's assessment and adoption of this important technology than its DAMA attendees?"

Even before the conference starts, attendees are contacting Cerebra to schedule time to learn more about what they're doing with semantic technology. Especially intriguing is Cerebra's ability to integrate and enforce business policies with metadata. Farrell added, "We are very excited to have the opportunity at DAMA to share our experiences and further explore the technology's applications with our colleagues in the community."

Jeff Pollock, Cerebra's in-demand V.P. of Technology and co-author of Adaptive Information (Wiley and Sons), will sit on a much-anticipated panel Wednesday at 1:15 pm discussing "The Next Big Thing in Data Management."

Cerebra will be sharing insight on semantic technology, demonstrating how its customers are using its Cerebra Suite, and sharing its new paper on 'Applying Semantics to Metadata Management' at booth #122 on the exhibit floor. The floor is open on the afternoons of May 24 and 25.
