The Semantic Web isn't just about putting data on the web. It is about making links, so that a person or machine can explore the web of data. With linked data, when you have some of it, you can find other,
related, data.

ECKM
Uses Semantic Web and Semantic Technologies to add Knowledge Management capabilities to Alfresco, so richer interfaces can be built upon it to improve the user experience in Content Management.
•Language detection
•Entities extraction
•Semantic annotations
•Intelligent search
•Recommendations
ECKM: Demo
Future of ECKM
• First beta version in Q1/2013
• Backlog
• Topic detection
• Reasoning support in searches
• Thesaurus Management
• Classification of documents
• Support for RDFa and Microformat in Alfresco WCM/Quick Start
