Semantic Technologies Call 3
In our third call, we’ll explore some of the nuts and bolts of formats and standards that organizations are developing and adopting to the ‘semantic approach’. Some of these have been around for many years in such fields as publishing, government, life sciences and financial services. Others are fairly new and less widespread. In any case, standards are the backbone of integration and interoperability and as the old saw goes, ‘the nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from’. Where should you be investing time and energy? What approaches have fallen out of favor? What does the future look like for things like OWL, RDF, SKOS and all the various flavors of XML mark up?
In the standards world, there is no one size that fits all, and there is a tremendous amount of variability among implementations of even seemingly the “same” standards. We’ll briefly review various classes of metadata representations and discuss how organizations are navigating the alphabet soup of standards.
Standards and Technology for Storing Content and Metadata
Presented by Bob DuCharme
In this presentation, we'll talk about standards and technology for storing XML content, non-XML content, and the metadata associated with that content. In a production system, what's the relationship between the content and metadata? How flexible can the metadata structure be? What role can standards play in the metadata?
As we review the standards and technology landscape, we'll cover issues such as:
