3 billion users worldwide
With nearly 3 billion users worldwide, the mobile phone has
become the most personal and ubiquitous communications device.
However, the lack of a collaborative effort has made it a challenge
for developers, wireless operators and handset manufacturers to
respond as quickly as possible to the ever-changing needs of
savvy mobile consumers. Through Android, developers, wireless
operators and handset manufacturers will be better positioned to
bring to market innovative new products faster and at a much
lower cost. The end result will be an unprecedented mobile platform
that will enable wireless operators and manufacturers to give their
customers better, more personal and more flexible mobile
experiences.

Peer to Patent
Peer to patent
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The Peer-to-Patent project (also known as the Community Patent Review
project) is an initiative that seeks reform of the patent system by gathering
public input in a structured, productive manner. A pilot project in collaboration
with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) completed its
first year on June 15, 2008. On July 16, 2008 the USPTO announced the
extension and expansion of the project until June 15, 2009. [1] Peer-to-Patent
seeks to improve the quality of issued patents by connecting the USPTO to an
open network of experts online. Peer-to-Patent is the first social software
project directly linked to decision making by the federal government.[citation needed]
Other patent offices planning pilot programs include the UK Intellectual
Property Office and the European Patent Office. If the pilots meet their goals,
this form of public peer review could become standard for all patents submitted
to these offices. [2]

Matrixware Community
 “Our aim is to bring experts and opinion leaders from universities, businesses,
information providers, creative IT experts and scientists together in order to solve
professional information retrieval challenges with innovative methodologies.”
Francisco de Sousa Webber, General Manager Matrixware and Head of Matrixware Community Group
 Matrixware and C. J. quot;Keithquot; van Rijsbergen (Professor and leader of the
Information Retrieval Group in the Department of Computing Science at
the University of Glasgow) initiated the Information Retrieval Facility
(IRF) platform in 2007 in order to improve the global transfer of knowledge
between information professionals and information retrieval scientists.
The IRF is an open research institute active in the field of applied
information science, where leading experts develop new methods for
working with complex data.

37.

network of solution providers and development teams.
Practically speaking, Professional Services work by guiding the entire problem-solving
process with the client through the documentation of functional requirements. This is

Demonstration of our data capabilities
 Our experience in building the Matrixware data repository demonstrates our ability to
deal with millions of patent documents using agreed and ad hoc international XML
standards (e.g. WIPO ST.36 and its various national dialects), including our own
standardised harmonised extensible XML version.
Key skills learned are harmonising and standardising meta data into a sophisticated
database domain model. We have embarked on an innovative architecture in database
design combining years of know-how from an all-star team that joined Matrixware from
leading organizations that understand content. This impressive mix of skills and
technology culminated in the Matrixware data repository.

development of a Community in the professional
information business and information retrieval
area we expect to extend the boundaries of
research in ways that are currently thought to be
unachievable.
