Innovative Services
We absorb the cost of early adoption by proposing only solutions that we have designed and/or tested, and that we know for sure are working. We rely on industry standards as much as possible, including some that we have helped to create. Michel Biezunski, of Infoloom, is the co-inventor of the Topic Maps standard (ISO/IEC 13250). In 2006, he invented the Data Projection Model. We develop applications based on standard technologies, including XML, Unicode, Topic Maps, RDF, XSLT, Python, SQL, and PHP.

Integration of Information Systems
|
We integrate information systems by enabling multiple perspectives. A perspective is a way to look at information from a certain angle, that results in a particular view. Depending what users want to see, several perspectives are possible. We use a powerful model to enable multiple perspectives, called the Data Projection Model.

Production Services
We specialize in producing industrial quality web sites, by assembling various components through a combination of automatic methods and human input. We use existing standards to design such applications. We use standard tools to implement applications, as well as the tools we develop ourselves.
We use TMLoom, a technology existing now for more than 10 years, for producing topic map applications, and MaxLoom, an implementation of the Data Projection Model, to produce audit trails based on binary relations.
TMLoom is used to create web pages, featuring topic screens connecting pages coming from XML, SGML, HTML, Ascii, CSV files, MS Word/Excel/Powerpoint or OpenOffice Writer/Calc/Impress formats. Topics are created on the fly using automatic methods. Specific methods and processes are developed for the individual constraints and requirements of our customers. Products made with TMLoom include IRS TaxMap, GCA Conference Proceedings, Powerpoint Slides for Egov, etc. See list here.
MaxLoom has been used for auditing the IRS TaxMap production process. Demos are available here.

Maintenance of information systems
Maintenance of an information system
is often overlooked, although it is often
what absorbs the bulk of the costs. Our maintenance strategy
complements our auditing strategy. Maintenance is greatly facilitated
by a deep understanding of what is happening and when it is
happening. This is especially true for the features that result from a
complex combination of processes, some of them automatic, and others
manual. The key is auditability. |
Analysis of Information Systems
Where
does a given item of information come from? Why is a link
present and how was it set up here in the first place? Can anybody
explain why a given information item belongs to a particular category? Answering
such questions is possible when information systems are auditable. The
Data Projection Model makes this possible. It implies a methodology
and can be implemented as a software component within an information
system.
Visualization of Information Networks
We design and build user-friendly
systems containing complex navigation systems for easy
viewing. On demand, we make these information
networks compliant with RDF or the Topic Maps
standard.
Financial Reporting
Infoloom is interested in XBRL-based projects. XBRL stands for
the Extensible Business Reporting Language.
See xbrl.org for more details.
Consulting and Training
We provide strategic consulting for
CIOs, project managers, developers and content experts. We
provide training for users, when necessary, and we do
workshops with content experts who provide input to
information systems.
Seminars and workshops on usability, design,
auditability and maintenance of information systems can be
organized on demand. Contact Infoloom for more information.
