Webnodes announces support for OData in their semantic CMS
Oslo, Norway - Webnodes AS, a company developing an ASP.NET based semantic content management system, today announced full support for OData in the newest release of their CMS.
Built-in OData support
In the latest version of Webnodes CMS, there’s built-in support for creating OData feeds. OData, also called the Open Data Protocol is an open protocol for sharing content. Content is shared using tried and tested web standards, and makes it easy to access the information from a variety of applications, services, and stores.
“OData is a new technology that we believe strongly in”, said Ole Gulbrandsen, CTO of Webnodes. “It’s a big step forward for sharing of data on the web.”
Share content between web and mobile apps
One of the many uses for OData is integration of website content with mobile apps. OData exposes content in a standard format that can be easily used on popular mobile platforms like iOS (iPhone and iPad), Android and Windows Phone 7.
First step towards the semantic web
While OData is not seen as a semantic standard by most people, Webnodes see it as the first big step towards the semantic web. The gap between the current status quo, where websites are mostly separate data silos and the vision for the semantic web is huge. OData brings the data out of the data silos and onto the web in a standard format to be shared. This bridges the gap significantly, and brings the semantic web a lot closer to reality after many years as the next big technology.

Mailbag: Kentico CMS
My inbox is just full of emails from companies and people requesting that I take a look at their CMS. To be honest, it's a little overwhelming to have so many requests because although time is my enemy I really do want to respond to everyone. For now though, I'm currently focused on reviewing this year's finalists in Packt's Best Open Source CMS. In other words, I have a long waiting list of CMS to review.
However, there are a few of these emails that I don't want to just sit on my computer and go nowhere. One of those emails include a sales pitch for the Kentico CMS. Kentico is a CMS that hasn't quite made it on my CMS Focus list but possibly should be.
The following is a partial email from Kentico's Director of Business Development, Eric Webb:
Bryan,
I want to reach out to you with interest in coordinating a vendor briefing with you on Kentico CMS. Kentico goes head to head with solution like Ektron and Sitecore on a daily basis and wins large opportunities and is currently used by more than 4,000 Websites in 84 countries. I can provide numerous references to this effect both from end clients and Solution Partners that have relationships with all 3 vendors. Kentico NEEDS to be included in your reports and recommendations.
Ketnico clients include: Microsoft, Brussels Airlines, Vodafone, Audi, Mazda, Samsung, Gibson, Bayer, Novartis, Abbott, ESPN, Starz, CTV, FerrellGas, Hard Rock, McDonalds, DKNY, Guinness, Medibank, Ireland.ie, BlackBoard and many, many others...
