Synopsis
Consultants Pollock and Hodgson want to share their enthusiasm for a new, semantically aware enterprise infrastructure that they say will be the foundation upon which all future system will be built. They explain to managers how to organize and architect (tomorrow everything will be a verb) a semantic interoperability project; make decisions about tools; and choose the best architectural patterns and technologies for specific needs.
