BEA Systems this week detailed three products that the company said are geared to Web 2.0 and social computing in the enterprise.

These include the Pages, Ensemble and Pathways products from the BEA AquaLogic line. They are intended to provide for user participation in the workplace while giving IT management and governance control.

Ensemble, formerly known as Project Runner, is infrastructure software for developers and IT operations to develop and manage enterprise mashup applications. Pages, which had been known as Project Builder, lets users surface enterprise data and build simple Web applications for day-to-day business situations.

Pathways, formerly known as Project Graffiti, provides for collaborative information discovery and expert identification. It combines social book-marketing and tagging with search and activity analytics. Users can discover and share information through social networks.

The three products are expected to ship in the second quarter of this year.
