Semantic Brains Is a semantic web startup (SWSP) founded at the Semantic Conference, June 2009, by Lieven Janssen, with a special interest in building visual applications using Adobe Air and Flex on top of semantic data. Building on a profound knowledge of the XML standards combined with more than 10 years of experience in object oriented programming (Java and .Net) Lieven is now a pioneer in semantic technologies in Belgium and beyond.

Our goal: making the Semantic Web happen! Our first goal is to create semantic awareness in the business and industry world. When Web 2.0 was born those new web technologies also emerged in all of todays small and large enterprises. Today Web 3.0 or the Semantic Web will or is already moving in that direction. A second objective is to deliver semantically based tools and services to companies (refer to the Other projects chapter on this page). Our experience today is that there are without doubt, needs in all aspects of the companies business procesess.
