How Semantic Technology Fits Into the Enterprise

How Semantic Technology Fits Into the Enterprise: "Semantic web is a very promising technology that has suffered a lack of pragmatic focus. It was born in the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in the aftermath of HTML's success, and with XML starting on an impressive trajectory. But it was positioned either as a form of search engine enhancement -- which struggled for relevance against the Google approach of building gigantic indexes -- or as an artificial intelligence system working on the scale of the Web, which set a large barrier to credibility. One area where semantic web technology could show more ready promise is as a component of enterprise data architecture, but there has been precious little discussion and work in this area."
