The project is supported by DERI, NUI Galway, Web of Data - FBK and the OKKAM project (ICT-215032). Individual developers who have contributed to any23 include: Michele Catasta, Richard Cyganiak, Michele Mostarda, Davide Palmisano, Gabriele Renzi, Jürgen Umbrich.

Multi-lingual text analytics vendor Basis Technology Corp., which develops the Rosette linguistics platform

The company this week released Rosette 7, the latest version of its software, which is used in major web and enterprise search engines, from Google to Bing to Oracle software.
