Just launched 'The Node' for Oracle
Just launched 'The Node' project for Oracle at hello.iamtheno.de , to coincide with Oracle OpenWorld 2008. We worked with the Oracle EMEA marketing team (based in Dublin), with input from the OTN (Oracle Technology Network) and the Oracle Appslab guys.
The project draws in RSS/XML content feeds from across the OTN and Oracle.com, then aggregates and visualizes related content through a tag-based interface. What we call a semi-semantic view. It gives a real sense of the depth of content Oracle has online and is designed to promote content discovery.
Oracle is doing some interesting collaborative and crowdsourcing work across the board. Oracle.com recently gave itself over completely to a crowdsourcing experiment, inviting anonymous ideas and suggestions from the community. OTN editor Justin Kestelyn has blogged the best ideas so far. The Appslab team are also doing some good work, notably Oracle Mix and OraTweet.
Good project - some screenshots attached. We didn't get to visit the Oracle HQ as part of it though. Sad banana.
