Ashok,

I will work with Soren & Orri re. an Enterprise usescase based on a 
contemporary enterprise problem: cost-effective creation, dissemination, 
and retention of knowledge that uses new and emerging technologies (e.g. 
Rdb2Rdf) atop existing infrastructure.

This case will incorporate applications of Rdb2Rdf to issues such as : 
enterprise search, MDM, and distributed collaborative applications (i.e. 
Blogs, Wikis, Bookmark Sharing etc).
