whitepaper Charting a Web 2.0 Strategy2008-03-20 JupiterMedia
  Wikis, blogs, social networks, AJAX rarely does a day go by without these terms being hurled at from different directions and this has resulted in these becoming mnemonics for Web 2.0. The confusion around what constitutes Web 2.0 has led to the current situation where some limited aspects on Web 2.0 are being construed as the whole Web 2.0 enchilada. This is naturally leading to the question: What is Web 2.0?   
whitepaper Humboldt: Exploring Linked Data2008-03-10 Hewlett-Packard
  This paper presents Humboldt, a novel user interface for browsing RDF data. The user interfaces for browsing RDF data are reviewed. They argue that browsing tasks require both a facet browser's ability to select and process groups of resources at a time and a 'Resource at a time' browser's ability to navigate anywhere in a dataset. This paper describes Humboldt which combines these two features in a single coherent interface. Their approach is based on the operation of pivoting, which enables the user to move the focus of a browsing from one set of resources to a set of related resources. With repeated use of the pivot operation the user can browse anywhere in the data.

whitepaper Building Interactive Reports2008-03-01 Oracle
  Typically, Web applications designed for displaying and modifying data are not user-customizable. Application developers build Web pages to display data based on business requirements, and users who want the data displayed differently either export it and load it into a spreadsheet program or ask the developers to modify the report layout (which usually requires all other users to agree to the change). Oracle Application Express Version 3.1 breaks this mold with interactive reports functionality. End users can modify their own data layouts directly in the Web application to display secure, up-to-date data. Each user can rearrange a report's data and save multiple layouts for later reference, without impacting other users.

whitepaper Build a Google Talk Client Using Oracle ADF Faces Rich Client and the Active Data Service2008-03-01 Oracle
  As Oracle OpenWorld 2007 made very clear, the integration of Web 2.0 concepts and trends into enterprise applications is a major trend in application development. Oracle Fusion Applications offer a good example of how combining very appealing, visually rich user interfaces with popular internet trends such as social bookmarking and Instant Messaging (IM) lead to attractive and productive applications. Communication integrated into the application's user interface is an important element in the collaboration that this new style of application promotes. E-mail, Voice over IP, and Short Message Service are among the communication channels one might consider, but IM (chat) could well be the most powerful one.

whitepaper Using Oracle Berkeley DB Java Edition as a Persistence Manager for the Google Web Toolkit2008-02-01 Oracle
  The standard Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) approach for object persistence in Web applications is to use Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB), an Object-to-Relational Mapping (ORM) technique. Java objects are translated back and forth into SQL statements and stored within a Relational DataBase Management System (RDBMS) as rows related across a number of database tables. This is the most common approach for good reason. Most customers will find that many aspects of their organization depend on SQL and RDBMS servers from Oracle to manage business critical information. In these cases EJB and Java Persistence API (JPA) are the best approaches for object persistence. They bring Java applications and existing applications together, speaking the same SQL language, to access the same relational data.

whitepaper Cisco Service-Oriented Network Architecture: Support and Optimize SOA and Web 2.0 Applications2008-01-01 Cisco Systems
  Web 2.0 and Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs) are among the top issues of concern for IT architects and executives. Both are poised for exponential growth over the next few years, due to their flexibility, cost effectiveness, and ease of integration. Each technology creates highly distributed composite applications that unite components or subsystems to form higher-level functional systems or target applications. The growing challenge for enterprise IT architects, however, is that because these composite applications are highly distributed, interactions between components may require several traversals across various areas of the network - each increasing the possibility of inconsistent performance or security problems.

whitepaper BPM, SOA, and Web 2.0 Convergence: Business Transformation or Train Wreck2008-01-01 BEA Systems
  Government and commercial organizations are driven to accelerate change, being agile enough to quickly adapt to evolving markets, policies, regulations, and business models. While the convergence and maturation of technologies and methodologies provides opportunities for agility and business transformation, this same convergence introduces new questions of risk surrounding security, inefficiencies, disruptions, and possible misalignment within the organization. This paper will assess the benefits and risks of these solutions and how they benefit executive initiatives such as Lean Six Sigma, portfolio management, and acquisition transformation, as well as mission-focused solutions in specific areas such as intelligence, defense, and logistics.

whitepaper Clustering Tags in Enterprise and Web Folksonomies2007-12-07 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  Off late there has been massive growth in the use of tags as a simple, flexible way to categorize resources. Tags are often used collaboratively to help share information using website; such as del.icio.us. However, the number of tags used in such a service is extremely large, so the unstructured nature of tags limits their value when navigating these websites, and prevents users from fully exploiting tags added by others. Clustering similar tags can improve this by adding structure. This paper discusses techniques for deriving tag similarity and explains two tag clustering algorithms. The paper applies the algorithms to two datasets containing tags provided by users with common interests.

whitepaper Enterprise Architecture Essentials, Part 6: Manageability - Adding Value With a New Quality Attribute2007-11-13 IBM
  Organizations today face the challenge of two important enterprise architecture requirements: the need for agility and the overhead of regulatory governance. These requirements can be seen as mutually antagonistic - if business processes must be flexible, then governance of those processes may be difficult. This paper, part six in a six-part series, explores the notion of using manageability as a key Enterprise Architecture (EA) quality attribute to solve this problem. EA development is an ongoing process, and the central idea of this paper is that by applying manageability as an EA attribute, the organizational processes, systems, and software become manageable.
