We are now starting a collaboration with akibot.

Akibot is the first semantic actionable micro-blogging platform for the enterprise. Akibot not only allows real-time group collaboration and awareness through short, instant messages (like a Twitter for the company), but it also understands those messages and, if applicable, takes action.

What intrigued me about akibot was the semantic analysis of microblogging messages.

The basic idea is that akibot functionality can complement existing ESME functionality. The ESME community isn’t able to do everything on its own. Therefore, we look for partners who will work with us to further establish microblogging in the enterprise.

I’ve started a wiki page to describe the collaboration. The detail description of the use case that we are currently exploring is also present in the wiki.

As the diagram below illustrates, the use case focuses on the use of akibot’s Contextual Analyzer (C>A) module to semantically analyze messages and provide functionality that is currently not present in ESME’s action framework. The akibot Directive Processor (DP) then decides if additional processing is necessary and what additional actions are required.

Initial tests between ESME and akibot have proven successful and we are now further exploring collaborative options.
