Justifications for semantic technologies – revisited
This article, Justifications for semantic technologies – revisited, is worth reading.
The bottom line is this. Semantic technologies allow for:
- straight application of knowledge in the production process through application ontologies; there is near to no entropy involved
- description and management of processes
- unambiguous descriptions through glossaries, context, knowledge models whereby concepts are explained through their relation to other concepts
- knowledge engineering
- knowledge representation
- reading by men and machines
- interoperability constructs and formats
- version control on the level of descriptions and operations
- knowledge generation on top of asserted knowledge
- support the growing attention for openness in public administrations (open data)
- coping with the above mentioned issues
