Info

Deep Web Technologies was founded in 2002 by federated search pioneer Abe Lederman who serves as President and Chief Technology Officer. Deep Web Technologies sprang from Abe's three year relationship and successful track record of work completed with the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI). From this affiliation, the first federated search for the federal government was born with the creation of Distributed ExploritÔ. Abe's 17-year background in the field of knowledge management, coupled with a network of connections from Verity and Los Alamos National Laboratory, and his pioneering work on the ExploritÔ platform laid the groundwork for the company's rapid growth.
