About this Blog

Complex parts of supply chains (those generally comprised of small businesses with 1-10 employees) are not providing customers or government regulators with trustworthy information about product safety.

A critical problem is that current document management technologies are not designed to help integrate the sharing of trustworthy information among the multiple participants of fragmented chains. Data integration technologies are being developed for the emerging Semantic Web but with very little understanding as to how complex chains work (and don't work).

Pardalis has specifically patented and developed a metadata management technology for virtually integrating complex supply chains. The critical problem is solved by advancing the capabilities of relational server database management systems toward a Semantic Web emerging within a 'Cloud' of data centers. And Pardalis' approach is distinct enough to be conceptualized as an Ownership Web platform for drawing small businesses to the emerging Semantic Web.

Visioning Beyond Data Portability

The visioning of data portability appears to be headed in the right direction.

Chris Saad is a co-founder and CEO of Faraday Media. Chris is also a co-founder and Chairperson of Dataportability.org.

On Sunday, May 18th Chris Saad blogged the following on his personal blogging site.

"I’ve heard a lot lately from executives at the highest levels at vendors that do not run large social networks. They might be more traditional media companies, telecommunication companies, device manufactures etc.
There are a few common and resounding themes from those conversations so I thought I would share them here ...."

If you go to Chris' post be sure and check out my comment (i.e., Comment #5).

Evidence of further visioning beyond data portability.

On June 1, 2008 Chris Saad said -

"There is something that ... ’social media’ observers are missing .... Sociality is only one aspect of a human being."

"Where social networks and supply chains overlap, what opportunities are there to find technological data ownership solutions that address the fear factors working against both portability (between social network websites) and information traceability (along complex product supply chains)?"

"One of the recent trends is for social networks like Facebook and MySpace to allow their users to share their lists of friends and similar information with other Web sites. It's called 'data portability, and its advocates hope that one day, you'll be able to share all your information, including your searches, with anyone else you want to."
