The Mural community is an open-source community with the purpose of developing an ecosystem of products that solve the problems in Data Management through a collaborative community-driven approach. Leveraging the OpenESB and Netbeans communities, the Mural community seeks to build a foundational open-source data management infrastructure to form the basis of Master Data Management initiatives (i.e., CDI, PIM) and of traditional datawarehousing and business intelligence initiatives. It will also provide data services for SOA initiatives and Enterprise Web 2.0.
