Observing the growth of
social networks in the consumer space and its evolution towards enterprise
and government applications in the global market, QoS Labs decided in 2007
to focus on the Semantic Social Web by combining Web 2.0 and Web 3.0
visions and technologies, and leveraging its proprietary semantic platform
and SaaS framework. The question raised was how to build a value proposition
by offering smarter social networking capabilities and innovation in that
space.
QoS Labs decided to
start the Spribo project and license its semantic technology to this new
company to build a Semantic Social Web platform that is capable of
producing innovation in the use of social networks. The team assigned to Spribo
has actively worked during lab phase 6
(2008-2009) on continued development of the semantic engine, the creation
of semantic social applications and the social graph ontology. Spribo
launched a beta service at the end of 2008. Multiple use cases have been deployed
to build nurtured communities that have helped to test the technology and prove
the value proposition. The main efforts during this initial phase have focused
on reliability, performance and scalability of the Spribo platform, social
apps and the first APIs to popular Web 2.0 sites as the semantic model is
populated by participating members and the semantic social graph ontology
is refined.
As the market starts to
talk about Web 3.0 and the Semantic Web, QoS Labs is committed to the next
generation of the Web, applying its proprietary knowledge representation technology
to the Semantic Social Web, as a competitive advantage for the next Web wave.
