Presentation
Semantic SOA
Semantic Technology and the Semantic Web will change the way we design and build applications for the enterprise and how we will integrate them.  This talk will quickly bring the audience up to speed on RDF and OWL and then describe six areas that this technology can be applied in an Enterprise Architecture (with examples and vendors products that can be applied in each area).

Audience:-
Architects with some experience in SOA but little in Semantics.

Key takeaways:-

1. What Semantic Technologies provide.
2. Where Semantic Technologies fit in an SOA or EA 3. Opportunities in Design Time and Run Time Semantics.
