Say What? Corporate Taxonomies and Semantic Technologies

Semantic technologies are on the rise... finally. Helpful in determining customer sentiment -- a key component of CRM -- semantics are also useful for defining corporate taxonomies, which are increasingly seen as invaluable for managing enterprise metadata. Tune into this episode of DM Radio to learn how semantics could provide the long-elusive glue to hold together ever larger and more complex information systems. We'll talk to Robin Bloor of Hurwitz Group, Dr. Chris Harding of The Open Group, Tony Shaw of Semantic Universe and Leslie Owens of Forrester. Attendees will learn: How semantic technologies actually work; Why corporate taxonomies are good for metadata; Which use cases for semantics are most popular; Whether the Semantic Web will be here soon.
