Resource-Oriented Architectures : Adopting the Semantic Web in the Enterprise
The seventh of a series of talks that are part of an arc covering next-generation information-oriented, flexible, scalable architectures. The ideas presented apply to both external and internal-facing systems.
While there is a lot of interest in using Semantic Technologies in the Enterprise, there is very little guidance on how to go about doing so. It sounds like a scary Big Bang change, but the truth is, there are incremental steps that can be adopted gradually.
This talk will be an introduction of how you can begin to advocate and apply Semantic Web technologies iteratively both internally and on the public Web.
Topics will include:
How to explain Semantic Web technologies to various stakeholders Difficulties/processes faced when adopting new technologies Mapping these technologies into existing industry trends Adopting a Resource-Oriented view of the world Data Integration strategies Using RDFa Building and extending metadata repositories that unify your documents, data and services
