Semantic Technology – When Should Your Enterprise Consider Adopting It?
At this year’s Semantic Technology and Business Conference in San Francisco, Mike Delaney and I presented a session discussing Semantic Technology adoption in the enterprise entitled, When to Consider Semantic Technology for Your Enterprise. Our focus in the talk was centered on 3 key messages: 1) describe semantic technology as it relates to enterprise data and applications; 2) discuss where semantic technology augments current data persistence and access technologies; and 3) highlight situations that should lead an enterprise to begin using semantic technology as part of their enterprise architecture.
In order to allow a broader audience to benefit from our session we are creating a set of videos based on our original presentation. These are being released as part of Blue Slate Solutions’ Experts Exchange Series. Each video will be 5 to 10 minutes in length and will focus on one of the sub-topics from the presentation.
Here is the overall agenda for the video series:
| # | Title | Description |
| 1 | Introduction | Meet the presenters and the topic |
| 2 | What? | Define Semantic Technology in the context of these videos |
| 3 | What’s New? | Compare semantic technology to relational and NoSQL technologies |
| 4 | Where? | Discuss the ecosystem and maturity of vendors in the semantic technology space |
| 5 | Why? | Explain the enterprise strengths of semantic technology |
| 6 | When? | Identify opportunities to exploit semantic technology in the enterprise |
| 7 | When Not? | Avoid misusing semantic technology |
| 8 | Case Study | Look at one of our semantic technology projects |
| 9 | How? | Get started with semantic technology |
We’ll release a couple of videos every other week so be on the lookout during July and August for this series to be completed. We would appreciate your feedback on the information as well as hearing about your experiences deploying semantic technology as part of an enterprise’s application architecture.
The playlist for the series is located at: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyQYGnkKpiugIl0Tz0_ZlmeFhbWQ4XE1I The playlist will be updated with the new videos as they are released.
