How Practical are Product Definition Ontologies? - Part Three (Product Value Management)

How Practical are Product Definition Ontologies? - Part Three (Product Value Management): "If you decide to pursue an ontology based solution to your product definition management, governance of such a solution becomes critical for two basic reasons:

1. Ontology is managed by a community of architects in a federated manner. These architects will need to know how to get benefits from the ontology for their own data reconciliation needs and how to use the ontology to maintain semantic convergence as strong as possible.

2. Integrity of data reconciled by the ontology depends on policies that are flexible in design, yet strictly administered for all registered users and data exchange protocols. That way, run time execution of various read and write calls between systems and users follows best possible choices between all authors and consumers of information."
