IBM, AccuWeather Team on Enterprise Mashups



Email    print   
December 1, 2006 —  IBM today is announcing that it is working with AccuWeather Inc. to provide situational, weather-related applications as part of IBM's QEDWiki, out of the company's Emerging Internet Technology group.

QEDWiki is a Web 2.0-based mashup maker that uses widgets—in this case, small fragments of DHTML that encapsulate content—to connect disparate data providers into a single framework.

Paul Raymond, senior product manager at AccuWeather, used the example of a commodity trader in energy futures needing to know weather conditions that could affect oil production or discovery, as well as news of geopolitical events and global inventories. QEDWiki is being positioned by IBM as an enterprise platform to enable businesses to create situational applications as needed, and Dan Gisolfi, IBM's executive IT architect for emerging Internet technologies, said the company is lining up partners to help build out the widgets, which provide the business value for the Web 2.0 technologies such as wiki, RSS and AJAX.
