Video Presentation Overview: This presentation gives a high-level overview of what is considered the “Holy Grail” of IT… the ability to provide Google-like query capability on structured data. This talk describes a collection of large information-technology challenges that must be solved in order to deliver the “Holy Grail”. Also, a high-level description of the technologies needed to deliver the Holy Grail are discussed.
