Company Overview
Epiture was first
created in 1998 by ManyWorlds Inc, to fulfill a
marketplace need to manage networks of knowledge in a
holistic and human intuitive way.
Epiture, delivered as a software as a service
application, is used by Fortune 1000 companies such
Pfizer, Cisco Systems, Shell, BearingPoint and many
others.

Epiture
Technology
Epiture was developed to manage networks of knowledge in
a fundamentally different way. Based on fuzzy set
mathematics and the science of networks, Epiture
provides context and real-time adaptation and learning
around the knowledge in its' networks.
ManyWorlds developed the revolutionary new software
application, Epiture, to address significant,
unfulfilled needs in the marketplace in the overlapping
areas of content management, knowledge management, web
application integration, customer relationship
management (CRM), and e-learning platforms. ManyWorlds
applied its unique combination of expertise in the areas
of software architecture and development, IT directions,
cognitive sciences, and learning and knowledge processes
to develop Epiture. Epiture’s unique capabilities are
now creating entirely new opportunities for businesses
to build value.
Epiture is architected on a .NET platform
Epiture
Architecture & Technology
Epiture is an entirely new way to manage and access
Internet-based knowledge and content (where content can
mean anything from text to multimedia to applications).
Although Internet-based, instead of the web page, the
fundamental operating units in Epiture are topics and
content objects. Individual objects in these two classes
can be related to one another as desired, and by degree.
The result is a rich network of content -- in fact it is
a "fuzzy" network -- that is, topics and content can be
partially related to one another. This is the fuzzy set
paradigm, as opposed to the hierarchical paradigm, on
which today’s Web implicitly rests.
The
fuzzy content network paradigm has some big advantages.
First and foremost, it reflects the way the human mind
actually processes information, and therefore provides
more intuitive navigation. It also allows a much more
graceful scaling than do classic hierarchies -- vast
knowledge bases can be effectively managed and navigated
using Epiture.
Epiture enables content experts and ordinary knowledge
workers, without any IT expertise whatsoever, to
assemble an integrated network of topics and associated
content. The network, including the relationships among
topic and content, and meta-information about the
content items, essentially constitute a semantic network
with regard to the particular domain. This content
network then dynamically generates an Internet
environment. In fact, the network can dynamically create
an unlimited number of customized environments. This
feature alone has the potential to revolutionize
knowledge-based CRM. But even better, a business using
Epiture can enable its clients to publish their own
content into an Epiture environment, and then cascade
the resulting network to their clients, and so on. This
unlimited cascading essentially replaces the existing
environment paradigm with a semantic level syndication
model. In fact, a P2P engine can be added to allow
distributed Epiture knowledge bases to share topics and
associated content networks dynamically. ManyWorlds’
view is that it is inevitable that the Internet evolves
in this direction, and we see Epiture being well ahead
of any alternative.
Epiture was also architected from the beginning to be
adaptive -- the content network can dynamically adapt to
the traffic patterns of the community of users, or an
individual user, for example. In other words, the basic
architecture supports an interactive interface that
actually learns.
In
summary, Epiture is really all about creating a new
level of abstraction on the Internet. It has potential
to be a fundamental capability on which other
applications rest.
