Case Study: Contextual Search for Volkswagen and the Automotive Industry (W3C)

W3C incluye a Volkswagen entre sus casos de éxito de contextos y buscadores facetados (semánticos). El proyecto de búsqueda contextual marca un hito en la estrategia web de Volkswagen y su relación con la Web de los Datos: "The contextual search project marks a hallmark of achievement in Volkswagen content and data strategies. It represents technical innovation in one of its truest forms and presents a paradigm shift in the way Volkswagen uses and shares data across the web"

El documento recoge una relación de beneficios asociados al uso de la tecnología semántica en este proyecto:

• A standardised interface to data and content, accessible to developers with different skillsets, using different technologies within and without the organisation.
• Separation of concerns between information and application, both logically and physically.
• Increases value, reusability and accessibility of data.
• Very powerful federation features.
• Adoption and use didn't necessitate process or change management. It could be leveraged at any stage within the product lifecycle painlessly and gracefully, both internally and externally
