Semantics in business systems [electronic resource] : the savvy manager's guide : the discipline underlying web services, business rules, and the Semantic Web / Dave McComb.

Semantics : a trillion-dollar cottage industry -- Business semantics -- The process side of business systems -- Terms : vocabulary, taxonomy, and ontology -- Data and object modeling -- Metadata -- Interpreting meaning -- Business rules and creating meaning -- Semantic elicitation : uncovering meaning -- Understanding and communicating meaning -- Extensible Markup Language (XML) -- Semantic-based enterprise application integration and systems integration -- Web services -- The Semantic Web -- Getting started. Semantics in Business Systems begins with a description of what semantics are and how they affect business systems. It examines four main aspects of the application of semantics to systems, specifically: How do we infer meaning from unstructured information, how do application systems make meaning as they operate, how do practitioners uncover meaning in business settings, and how do we understand and communicate what we have deduced? This book illustrates how this applies to the future of application system development, especially how it informs and affects Web services and business rule- based approaches, and how semantics will play out with XML and the semantic Web. The book also contains a quick reference guide to related terms and technologies.
