Denham,

I too fear that MS will buy up the most interesting parts of the market,or maybe just embed the most useful functionality in the OS?

To answer your questions, the Bank already uses Excalibur and Verity - what we are looking to do is from the point of view of 'who has done this before and who is working on something similiar now?' So we want to;

'be alerted in real time to what is already in existance
link to people or content
be altered to 'interesting' newsfeeds or new entries.'

So the solution we're looking at is an integration of three things, and they really facilitate a 'search, ask and tell' model, which hopefully captures most of the gaps.

Initially, Enable people to have context rich personal homepages, owned by them describing what they are passionate about and want to share (informed by BP's Connext) that is easy to 'search.'

Enable them to 'ask' questions automatically routed to those who know and are wiling to share (Abuzz)

Use 'Active Knowledge' from Autonomy to 'tell' people who else is working on the same thing, what documents exist and what's the latest news etc.

The key dispute we currently have here is whether people can be trusted to input their own profiles!
