Just a quick note related to some of the work we do at InterKnowlogy. Often when one of us is handling a public presentation we mention that we do cutting edge work. Of course, I'm sure many of you think - "yeah, but everybody says that." So as evidence that when one of us suggests that we do cutting edgw work and encourages you to feel free to send in a resume here is a little evidence...

The Channel 9 video highlights our work with The Scripps Research Institute using Office Sharepoint Server 7 and Windows Presentation Foundation to create a smart client collaboration tool. The client wraps Sharepoint's web service interfaces and allows researchers to associate annotations to complex molecular structures and in the course of cancer research to keep their annotations visually associated with these diagrams and images. As part of this implementation it's still possible to use the browser based web interface to access the annotation data files, but the rich client's WPF capabilities support graphically linking the annotations with their source. That level of graphic support isn't currently possible with a web application. The client simply leverages many of the web services which come with SharePoint out of the box (and a few that don't).
