Salzburg, Austria - July 9, 2010. The IKS Project invites all CMS vendors to take part in a survey for evaluating their product's general coverage of features and in particular with respect to semantic capabilities.

"Current CMS benchmarks are very diverse and only few of them give adequate coverage to novel semantic technologies which are being adopted in the market.", says Tobias Kowatsch of the Institute of Technology Management, University of St.Gallen, Switzerland - a consortium member of the IKS Project. "The online survey will allow us to assess the adoption and use of semantic technologies across CMS platforms."

The survey will take approximately 25 minutes to complete. The results will be published in a book by IKS entitled "Semantic Technologies in CMS". The book will be available in the first quarter of 2011 and is geared towards IT executives.

About IKS Project
Interactive Knowledge Stack (IKS) is an Open Source project to speed the implementation and broaden the reach of semantic technologies across Europe and beyond. Funded in part by a €6.58m grant from the European Union, the project targets the thousands of SME companies across Europe who provide content and knowledge management technology. Its aim is to develop an open, flexible technology framework that allows these companies to enable their products to deliver semantic-enabled, intelligent content. Downstream, this will provide a greater choice of cost effective solutions for organisations looking to implement semantic-web-enabled sites and applications, and bring significant benefits to millions of content consumers.

IKS is developed by a core consortium of seven research partners and six industrial partners and actively encourages corporate and individual participation in the project. For more information visit the website at: www.iks-project.eu
