Data management, process management, access management, and resource management form the four pillars of the advanced computing enterprise. This includes critical technologies such as databases, web services & service oriented architectures (SOA), mobile devices, and cloud computing. Semantics helps adapt and unify them to your current enterprise to allow rapid adoption and effective use.
We outline and demonstrate the potential contributions of Semantics to each of the four pillars. The contributions exist along two dimensions; making each pillar operate more effectively and making semantics work more effectively through effective implementation of the pillar. This provides you with choices as to how to focus your needs with potential semantic contributions.
We end by establishing an incremental, iterative plan outlining risks and benefits to allow you to gracefully incorporate Semantics into these critical enterprise areas.
* Host semantic solutions in advanced enterprise technologies
* Enrich key enterprise technologies with semantic extensions and enhancements to improve efficiency, effectiveness, functionality, and quality
* Identify semantic opportunities in the enterprise
* Outline a pragmatic plan for semantic enrichment

We’ve released an update to the FriendTracker application that accompanies the book. The updated code can be found on the downloads section of the web site, or the following links [zip|7z|tar.gz]. This is the code that we (John Hebeler and Ryan Blace) demonstrated at the DC Semantic Web meetup in August (sorry to those who were waiting for me to post the code… my daughter was born the day after the meetup!)
Updates:
- Sorted names in the names list
- Improved status reporting
- Lots of bug fixes
- Ported to Pellet 2.0 for large performance improvement
- Improved error reporting

The authors will be presenting a tutorial and overview of future issues on the Semantic Web at the Semantic Technology Conference in San Jose, California June 14-18.
This tutorial outlines a step-by-step, code-based approach to enable you to quickly master the fundamentals in building a semantic Web application. We quickly establish the key concepts and their relationship to application development. Then we programmaticly build the knowledge model, integrate diverse information sources, expose to various reasoners, query the unified value, and then export to various formats and methods using an iterative, collaborative format to get you involved and learning. This takes you through all necessary tools and techniques to quickly get started on your own solution.
For more information see the official SemTech site.
