The Rise of the Semantic Enterprise: Complimentary Access to the September 2009 Cutter IT Journal (37 pages)

Description

 

Excerpts from new report "The Rise of the Semantic Enterprise"

"Ever since the second business application was written, the problem of integration has been ingrained in the data management space."

“By exploiting the technologies of the Semantic Web, a semantic enterprise can create a people-machine continuum that enhances business agility”.

“The Semantic Web offers us a compelling architectural framework upon which to build next generation Internet-ready applications within the enterprise”

“The emerging Semantic Web will require us to dramatically rethink traditional notions of how business, data/information, application, and technology architectures are conceptualized and realized within an enterprise.”

“If CIOs are serious about developing a semantic enterprise, they should start asking themselves what kind of organization they envisage for the future: a “closed-world” organization, an “open-world” organization, or — as is more likely — a hybrid of the two?”

Nearly six months ago, the subject for this month’s Cutter IT Journal was conceived, and I was flattered to be invited to serve as the guest editor.    Through the collective volunteer efforts (involving thousands of hours) by seven outstanding contributing authors, the set of cutting edge opinion, entitled The Rise of the Semantic Enterprise, has now been born. 

I am very proud of our joint accomplishment, and believe that we have not only significantly elevated the discussion for this very important subject area, but have raised some new intriguing questions deserving further exploration.    I would like to express my utmost appreciation to all the contributing authors, who, along with Cutter’s expert editorial review team, spent countless hours on this fascinating journey with me.  The contributing authors are spotlighted below:

• Paola Di Maio
• John Kuriakose
• Shamod Lacoul
• Hyoung-Gon (Ken) Lee
• San Murugesan
• Edmund W. Schuster
• Bhuvan Unhelkar

 

Over the next few months, through reader feedback, I am looking forward to learning more about specific use cases for the application of Semantic Web-based technologies (SWT’s) within your enterprise, as well as your plans for applying emerging principles of Semantic Enterprise Architecture (SEA).
