It is gratifying to see that the efforts of the NXP project group, together
with partners [Semaku](http://semaku.com) and
[Dydra](http://dydra.com/about), have been recognized in this form.
We at Dydra have found our participation in the project over the past three
years most rewarding, in that it helped us to drive continued development of
features and capabilities tailored to enterprise applications of linked
data. We look forward to continuing to contribute as the project progresses
and grows going forward.
