Profium's main product is an RDF-based routing engine. It uses available RDF sources to divert content to where it's required. It's RDF-based, it's working now and it's not directly part of the Semantic Web movement... But there again you don't necessarily want a commercial. I have managed to describe the application without too much of a sales pitch in the past. I could do it again. -- Martyn Horner <martyn.horner@profium.com> Profium, Les Espaces de Sophia, Immeuble Delta, B.P. 037, F-06901 Sophia-Antipolis, France Tel. +33 (0)4.93.95.31.44 Fax. +33 (0)4.93.95.52.58 Mob. +33 (0)6.21.01.54.56 Internet: http://www.profium.com
