Mondeca Helping Transition to SOA

Semantic Technology Expert Collaborating on TAO Project with Leading Industry and Academic Partners

Paris, France – 6 February 2007. Mondeca S.A., a leader in applying semantic technology to help organizations obtain maximum return from their accumulated knowledge and content, today announced that it is participating in a groundbreaking project to transition legacy applications to semantic Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs).
