Welcome to the Age of the
Content-Rich Enterprise!
To compete effectively in tomorrow’s global economy in
spite of economic turmoil, the enterprise must integrate many data
sources—databases, email, marketing and policy documents in a variety of
formats, and Internet, Intranet, and Extranet Web sites—into a single
coherent fund of knowledge, accessible from anywhere, at any time. An
organization that can accomplish this task will be able to outrun, outfight,
and outperform its competition. This enterprise fund of knowledge is the key to
emergent world of the Semantic Web.
- First the book provides the background behind and the logic underlying the
content-rich enterprise, and shows why it is the key to success in the emerging
world of the pervasive information fabric.
- Then, in 85 pages of enjoyable dialogue, you'll see the book's pattern
language in use as stakeholders collaboratively envision a solution to a
realistic, non-trivial content management problem.
- In 100 pages of description of the elements of the pattern language, you'll
gain an in-depth but layman-accessible understanding of the key concepts and
constructs of content management and the Semantic Web.
- 45 illustrations are provided to aid comprehension.

structures."
