Fujitsu is developing two applications that could help enterprises make better use of their data and better handle information flowing into the company.

The first is a search tool for the “semantic web,” which refers to a web of interconnected servers filled with information that is tagged so it can be easily understood by machines. Called the Business Information Navigator, Fujitsu’s tool seeks to use this metadata to spot relationships between documents spread throughout an organisation and deliver search results that are more focused than is currently possible with a simple text search.

The idea is that with better tagging and more metadata, such as XML and RDF, an enterprise could derive much more value from its data. Fujitsu’s Navigator will both run through the documents and attempt to automatically tag them and works as a search engine for this tagged data.
