Opencola is a now defunct (www.opencola.com no longer exists) Toronto-based company founded by Grad Conn, Cory Doctorow and John Henson that made collaboration software.
Opencola was also a desktop application by that same company, which enabled users to search, acquire, manage and share information from multiple data sources, including the Internet, peers on the Opencola network, and existing proprietary databases, from a single interface.
Opencola extends search engine capabilities with the ability to perform contextual searching – a process that searches an entire document’s contextual subject matter for relevance and tries to replenish previous searches with more relevant results.
In summer 2003, Opencola was sold to the Open Text Corporation of Waterloo, Ontario.
