HELENA, Alabama — August 4, 2000 — Kelly Cullison, a Helena entrepreneur, announced the opening of Atlas Virtual Services, a virtual assisting practice devoted to helping small business owners handle administrative tasks so they can focus on growing their business.

Internet Creations Announces New Web Services
(PRWEB) January 10, 2005
“When it comes to website design, development and management, some web design firms will charge an exorbitant fee to the client and essentially take the money and run,” Bill Alexander, president of Internet Creations explains. “Unfortunately, this hurts the industry and the customer. We’ve been in the web design business since 1994. After the dot com bubble burst, we have seen a significant decline in true web expertise and customer service.”
Alexander indicates how the web design industry has changed (or declined). “In order to cut expenses, companies are hiring inexperienced people such as administrative assistants and bestowing them with the title of ‘webmaster.’ Oftentimes, these employees cannot complete a basic task such as adding a link to a website. The company may then look to hire a web design firm to pick up the slack, which then ends up costing even more.”
So the question is why not outsource the entire web to a large web/media/marketing firm? “You have to be extremely careful who you work with. Many of the large, all inclusive, design firms spread themselves too thin. They hire inexperienced employees or interns to cut costs but invest heavily into their presentation and sales team. Most of their effort relies on acquiring the new client who they dazzle with their brochures, charts and presentations.”
Who are you entrusting with your website? “Unfortunately, once the client signs the contract, things tend to bog down once the actual design process begins. In order to justify a large project quote, work may be dragged on for weeks or months to make the project look bigger than it really is.
Worse yet is incompetence. Your phone or email inquiry may be received by a receptionist or sales associate who has no web technical experience whatsoever. Employees may come and go leaving your project in the lurch. There is also the danger that due to inexperience, lack of concern, etc. that the person working on your website may leave out many important factors or complete the design in such a way as to be virtually invisible to the search engines.”
What is the solution and how can a business know that their website is in good hands? “Internet Creations has been designing all types of websites since 1994. Our reputation is second to none, as our long-time clients will gladly testify. Much of our business comes from companies whose past webmasters or design firms have left them or treated them poorly.” Alexander notes that this trend will continue. “We’re seeing agencies (large & small) formed all the time who have little to no web expertise. It’s actually becoming a MLM, quickly, do-it-yourself business that looks good on the outside. What happens when something goes wrong with your website though? That’s when the house of cards begins to crumble.”
And who picks up the pieces? “That’s where Internet Creations comes in. We can effectively salvage a website gone wrong but it would be much more cost efficient to come to us in the first place. Anybody can work on a car but the mechanic is going to have a tougher time fixing your mess and it will cost you more than if you took it to him originally.”
Can’t afford a full-time web employee for your company or tired of paying for someone to hang out at the water cooler? Worried about the “we do everything” agency leaving you high and dry? Contact Internet Creations and discuss your needs with us. Pay only for the work you need and get your changes made within hours instead of days (or weeks!). When you call or email, you can be assured you’re working with highly experienced web developers. Internet Creations announces the new “Virtual Webmaster” service. We’ll take care of your website on a continuous basis and alert you to issues important to your business.

Semantic Web Travel Services on a Voyage of Discovery
New Haven, CT (PRWEB) January 7, 2006
A secure, semantic-based interoperability framework for exploiting Web service platforms across peer-to-peer networks in the tourism industry hopes to set free the valuable Web-based tourism information that is currently trapped in isolated silos of incompatible databases.
“The tourism industry today is the second largest economic sector, after manufacturing, in the world,” says Professor Asuman Dogac, Director of the Software Research & Development Center in Turkey, and coordinator of the SATINE project. “Earlier than in other sectors, tourism embarked on e-business, not only with respect to business-to-business, but also with business-to-consumer.”
Currently, travel information services are dominantly provided by Global Distribution Systems (GDSs). A GDS gives its subscribers pricing and availability information for multiple travel products such as flights. Travel agents, corporate travel departments, and even Internet travel services, subscribe to one or more GDS’.
“However, small and medium-sized enterprises [SMEs], for example bed-and-breakfast accommodation or companies hiring bicycles, restaurants and many others cannot participate in GDS-based e-business because selling their products through GDS’ is too expensive for them,” says Dr Dogac.
Furthermore, GDSs are legacy systems, and suffer from a number of problems. They mostly rely on private networks, are mainly for human use, are difficult to use and have cryptic interfaces. Their speed and search capabilities are limited. Finally, it’s difficult to get them to interoperate with other systems and data sources. This means that tour operators, travel agencies and others cannot benefit fully from the advantages of electronic business-to-business trading.
The potential for advanced online travel Web services
The SATINE project developed a secure peer-to-peer network that enables peers to deploy their semantically-enriched travel Web services and allows others to discover these services semantically. “By introducing semantics to Web services, we have addressed the interoperability issue on the semantic level and constructed a peer-to-peer network that eases service discovery,” says Dr Dogac.
“The creation of complex services through the orchestration of simple Web services is an important task that is of particular relevance in the travel business: Apart from the typical examples, like the composition of package tours, more sophisticated services like a flight booking based on the availability of tickets for a certain cultural event are conceivable,” says Dr Dogac.
For instance, ultimately the work of SATINE could lead to very advanced travel services, where a holiday maker might enter terms like the dates, cost, car rental, hill walking, scuba diving and sunbathing and then be presented with a list of options offering all those activities and services with detailed itineraries and cost information, and all necessary bookings. The user would simply click on the option that appeals most.
“In SATINE project, we have developed a Semantic Wrapper for constructing and describing Web services,” says Dr Dogac. The main role of this component is to wrap existing information resources to make them appear as semantically well-described Web Services. It’s an easy-to-use tool for SMEs to create and annotate Web services from their existing enterprise applications.
The Semantic Wrapper provides two complementary tools: the Web Service Creator and the Web Service Annotator. The Web Service Creator transforms existing resources in Web Services. The Web Service Annotator describes a Web service at a semantic level, using OWL-S as the ontology of reference.
OWL is a markup language for publishing and sharing data using ontologies on the Web. OWL-S ontologies describe the Web service semantics. Ontologies are the vocabularies that allow machines to identify specific services or information. For example, a human operator would understand the term ‘booking’, but it needs to be defined in a special way for a machine to understand.
The project is also developing a mobile application to wrap the basic functionality of SATINE and provide a mobile interface for consumers to query and invoke the services in the network. These are secure Web services deployed among peers in the p2p network.
The project developed a prototype that was demonstrated successfully at over six major conferences. SATINE also organised a number of commercial demonstrations, including one to German software firm, SAP research.
