Oracle Buys Intellectual Property Assets of Tacit Software
Interesting - while Tacit was never a broad-based success on the market, it was considered unique in its underlying discovery, correlation and brokering engine. The acquisition should augment the capabilities Oracle had acquired from BEA regarding its Pathways product. I would imagine that ultimately - the assets will find their way into products other than Beehive - namely WebCenter (given its focus on Enterprise 2.0).
