Our Vision presents some very interesting challenges, and this Proof-of-Concept explores them with the aim of building a State-of-the-Art demonstration to show what can be achieved in late 2010.
IBM Software Tools
IBM provides some useful facilities :-
An interesting perspective for the Smarter Planet,
A Mashup Center
A Spatial extention to DB2.
The UK Government has started an Open Data Initiative
(with the help of Tim Berners-Lee), which includes Mashups from Talis.

User Scenarios
User Scenarios are a very powerful technique.
In this case, let's imagine a typical Family planning to move to London.England.
They would like to find good schools, compare crime statistics, hospitals, the price of houses and so on.
The underlying Data Model is shown on another page.
Here is a Vision of the Future of Databases, and you can check out our Presentations.
