Matthew Theobald (1970-2010) Founder, Internet Search Environment Number (ISEN) and CEO, Internous, talks about how he got started as a student with the idea of creating the "Database of all Databases" or ISEN - Internet Search Environment Number - and building his company, Internous.

The Internous project represents enormous opportunities for every individual and organization to not only search the deep Web, but to create personalized databases to strengthen individual connectivity and enterprise opportunity.

You can watch the educational video Internous ISEN Animated Video (2009) here, a system for intelligence gathering and organization of data in the Deep Web. "The database of all databases, what it is and how it works. The Internet Search Environment Number is a unique ID with robust metadata for describing and authenticating the location of millions of databases across the Internet," said Matt Theobald of the introductory film.

Read more about the history of Matt's education and lifework to advance the development and application of standards for content management for the semantic Web on his Google Profile page here. 

But best of all, learn from Matt himself in the video below as he talks about his journey designing standards for efficiencies in data management. He shares experiences about the people who shaped his life - his "tribe"- and who ultimately guided the path of his creative development.
