Adaptive information improving business through semantic interoperability, grid computing, and enterprise integration - Pollock, Jeffrey T. (Wiley-Interscience, 2004)
Includes bibliographical references and index
"This guide introduces a new framework for the infrastructure of the future: semantically aware; driven by models of information, process, and service interfaces; and able to learn new behavior, find patterns, and rebuild itself for different platforms." "Offering copious examples of how semantic interoperability already fosters new capabilities, speeds up processes, and reduces costs, the authors provide a solid foundation in semantics and describe how metadata, ontologies, and software tools are used to provide semantic interoperability." "Complete with plenty of tips, definitions, and examples. Adaptive Information is must reading for CIOs and CTOs, IT managers, IT architects, and application developers alike."--Jacket
