Tim Spalding, Library Thing
Tim Spalding is founder of LibraryThing, an online service to help people catalog their personal library. Users add books to their catalog by entering titles, authors, or ISBN numbers. LibraryThing then searches the Library of Congress, all five national Amazon sites, and over 45 world libraries, and returns with pre-cise book data. Users can then edit the books in their catalog, tag their books with their own subjects, and use the Library of Congress and Dewey Decimal systems to organize their collections.
LibraryThing is also a social space, connecting people with similar libraries. It makes book recommendations based on the collective intelligence of the other libraries.
Tim Spalding is web developer and web publisher based in Portland, Maine. Tim also runs www.isidore-of-seville.com, www.ancientlibrary.com, www.bramblestory.com and www.mothboard.com. |

Bo Vincents, Managing Director, Ankiro
The expertise of Ankiro is user-friendly search tools, where linguistic and computer
scientific knowledge is combined in the search tools. Ankiro’s starting point is the user’s natural language, not technology itself. Ankiro´s slogan is "Digital tools on human terms". A unique combination of language databases (dictionaries, thesauruses, ontologies) and fuzzy logic enables what Ankiro calls "semantic search" - searching which finds what the users are looking for, and not only what they write.
