SMILA (SeMantic Information Logistics Architecture)

"SMILA (SeMantic Information Logistics Architecture) is an extensible framework
for building search solutions to access unstructured information in the enterprise.
Besides providing essential infrastructure components and services, SMILA also delivers
ready-to-use add-on components, like connectors to most relevant data sources."

initiated by German based company empolis this project seems to be promising in solving one common problem while dealing with todays information overflow:

• identification and access to information relevant for a given business task / process
  
• integration of "unstructured" information in corresponding business process

used standards are of course complex and not really common used in many organizations right now but that might change in mid term....
