“Some things have to be believed to be seen”

 How Semantic Web Technologies Deliver Value

1. Canonical data  Subject-Predicate-Object Triples

2. Identifiers  Composition Construct for Aggregations

3. Schemas are also expressed in Triples and can be

queried using same query language – SPARQL

4. Evolvability – schemas, vocabs and datasets can

readily evolve

© Copyright 2011 TopQuadrant Inc. Slide 5

 Some of the Questions that are asked
 "What does the use of semantic technology
mean to users of data?"
 "Can semantic web technologies really
'connect the dots' and break down data
silos?"
 "What does it mean to link data?"
 "How can data access and visualization be
improved?”
 "How can RDF and OWL co-exist with XML?"
 "What has to happen in an organization for
semantic web technologies to be put to work
effectively?"
 “What are the criteria for choosing
technologies for implementing solutions?“
 “When to know when to stop modeling?”

• Ontologies partitioned by domains, disciplines, organizations, specificity and time;

• Named graphs aggregated using configuration ontologies according to need;
• Three other dimensions also important: aspect, viewpoint and perspective.

Information Architecture

Information architecture (IA) defines a model, processes and services for

how information is represented, governed and used in systems,
applications, databases, documents and activities in order to ensure
compliance to naming and identifier rules, standard data and information
types, controlled vocabularies and coding schemes.

Operational Roles of an Information Architecture

IA serves as a “Rosetta Stone” for finding authoritative information. Instead of

reading documents, specifications of models and schemas can be queried by both
software and people. For example, a Sensor and its parameters is named and
encoded differently across systems and applications.
