Toward the Semantic Organization

by Paola Di Maio

Today, vast amounts of IT resources are devoted to systems integration. In the future, novel semantic technologies that are currently emerging from research and largely still in the beta stage will allow for "external integration" -- the ability to bind information and knowledge directly from unstructured sources by relating meaning and relevant information from unprocessed content and data residing in their native repositories. In theory, a semantically enabled network (i.e., a network whose nodes are equipped with semantic capabilities) can capture and infer logical relationships directly from the structure of the information in real time with little or no intermediation. This allows for automatically making logical associations, provided the information is appropriately wrapped in schemas configured to capture the relationships.
