Metatomix Semantic Framework to Support Native RDF Capabilities of Oracle Database 10g to Improve Efficiency and Throughput of its Semantic Solutions

San Jose, Calif. - May 22, 2007 - 2007 Semantic Technology Conference - - Metatomix, Inc., a leading provider of semantic solutions to financial services, justice, manufacturing and life sciences today announced it will support the native RDF capabilities of Oracle Database 10g to enable improved efficiency and throughput of solutions built and deployed within its Semantic Framework product line. Oracle's RDF data model is a feature of Oracle Spatial 10g, an option to Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition. Metatomix is an active member of the Oracle PartnerNetwork and the Oracle Database beta program.

"The ability to persist data in a native RDF store saves a good deal of time, which is now spent on transformations," said Colin Britton, CTO, Metatomix. "Oracle's native RDF capabilities complement our core data services and enable us to store natively in RDF for future semantic processing in a direct manner. This allows our clients to more easily create, deploy and extend semantic solutions with our Metatomix offerings."

"Oracle believes that semantics is a technology on the rise and is investing in extending the support of our offerings to support this wave," said Robert Shimp, vice president, global technology business unit, Oracle. "We see semantic frameworks such as the one Metatomix provides as a great accompaniment to Oracle's database capabilities to deliver semantic processing cost-effectively to the enterprise."

Many of Metatomix's customers currently use Oracle to deploy their semantic solutions. With a Metatomix framework solution, the shift to include the new features of Oracle Database 10g can be done in a way that appears seamless to the end user and without disrupting originating systems.
