The Proof-of-Concept with IBM Tools 
  Specifications for the Proof-of-Concept using the IBM Toolset
 
This is our Vision of the Future
Implementation Options
Ubiquitous Generic Data Platform with Events, XML Messages, Msg Broker and RSS Feeds

Our Vision of the Future
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.




    Status :-
    1. Problems starting-up the IBM Mashup Center.
  • This is our Vision of the Data Architecture for the Future
    Implementation Options
    Dashboards, Widgets, Messages,Web Services, Object Formats, Publication Methods and RSS Feeds

    Data Architecture of the Future
    It provides a wide range of Digital Assets of different formats with an indication of how the different Media can be processed.






    Status :-
    1. Definition of the Data Architecture is in progress.
    This is the kind of data that a typical Family will be interested in.
    Implementation Options
    Widgets, Web Services, Publish and Subscribe Facilities and RSS Feeds

    3-D Streets
    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.

    This Vision brings up some very interesting challenges, and this Proof-of-Concept explores them with the aim of building a State-of-the-Art demo.
