WebML, which was first defined about 10 years ago, has been an incubator for research concerning abstractions, methods, tools, and technologies, acting as a glue within a group of people spread among universities, technology transfer centres, and a spin-off. In this paper, we first illustrate the common approach to innovation, and then show such approach at work in two contexts. One of them, dealing with "Service-Oriented Architectures" (SOA), has reached a mature state; the other one, "Semantic Web Services" (SWS), is at its infancy, but promises to deliver very interesting results in the forthcoming years.

BI can be regarded as brain sciences in WI centric IT age and emphasizes on a systematic approach for investigating human information processing mechanism. The recently designed instrumentation (fMRI etc.) and advanced IT are causing an impending revolution in both WI and BI, making it possible for us to understand intelligence in depth and develop human-level Web intelligence.

First, we demonstrate how knowledge about market developments and competitor activities on the market can be extracted dynamically and automatically from semi-structured information sources on the Web. Then, we show how the data can be integrated in Business Intelligence Systems and how data can be classified, re-assigned and transformed with the aid of Semantic Web ontological domain knowledge. Existing Semantic Web and Business Intelligence applications and scenarios using our technology illustrate the whole process.
