Recognizing that the core data-discovery function fulfilled by MetaTrieve is of such synergistic importance to a wide range of important IT imperatives, we are also making MetaTrieve's  underlying database search engine technology available for license as a callable ActiveX module for integration with other software products.
Independent software development companies and providers can now add the power of "MetaX" natural-language metadata searching to their own suite of database or other tools.  Whether you build database integration, database modeling, actual or virtual data warehousing, Metadata Management, BI, ETL, other database software tools such as data-mapping, or are even  Application Server and Enterprise Server Bus (ESB) vendors, MetaX can dramatically enhance the usability and efficacy of your product. Here is a quick look at a few of the possible synergistic uses of MetaX:

Enterprise metadata repositories and cross-vendor dictionaries:  these valuable consolidation and virtual-database products usually inherit the legacy problem of metadata volume and semantic variation of objects.  MetaX can offer a productive front-end search for users of these tools.  

Database modeling and representation programs:  these graphical tools could benefit from a method to focus and accent displays on relevant databases, tables and columns out of a large volume of modeled objects; MetaX offers the natural-language search capability to accomplish this. 

Database browsers:  browsing through multiple databases, schemas, tables and columns (even with wild-card filters) is time-consuming for your users; MetaX can free that time through its cross-platform, cross-vendor semantic matching.

Data integration, business intelligence, Application Server, Enterprise Service Bus, and B2B products/tools:  finding the related data elements throughout the enterprise or between companies is the first step in data integration, data analysis or vertical market integration; MetaX is the best component to add to your suite of integrator, propagator or ETL products. 

To the extent that the fundamental problem of data-discovery is among the greatest inhibitors of general IT productivity enhancement, the ability now available to you to offer your clients the dramatic added productivity and ROI advantages afforded by embedding MetaX within your products may prove a compelling basis for your most serious consideration of a licensing arrangement.
