Re: [service-orientated-architecture] The Semantic Web, Large-Scale Integration & SOA

[Ron Schmelzer]

Hi Gervas -- Looks interesting! Of course, it's quite an old quote of mine, from 2003 or 2004 I think, but we have seen more movement on the OWL / RDF front. Not quite the Tim Berners-Lee vision, but a stepping stone to making semantics a reality. For those interested in some thought-provoking commentary on Semantics / Data and SOA, check out these two oldy-but-goodie ZapFlashes: http://www.zapthink.com/report.html?id=ZapFlash-08082003 http://www.zapthink.com/report.html?id=ZAPFLASH-2005217 Best, Ron Gervas Douglas wrote: You can read some interesting commentary about the Semantic Web and these issues at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/enterprise-information-integration/message/140 How relevant is it to SOA?  Well, Ronald is quoted, so it must be! Seriously, whereas the emphasis of SOA has been largely at enterprise intranet level to date, I think we are going to see more evidence of it in an inter-company context at one end of the scale, and within smaller SME application sets at the other.
