Antarcti.ca has introduced its Visual Net Enterprise (VNE) technology, which the company says provides graphical tools for organizing, browsing and viewing large amounts of data in multiple databases and media formats.

The company has also developed a VNE-based demonstration front end for the Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) Business Registry, a global, public, online e-business directory for companies sharing data and transactions.
