content: Structured Dynamics Completes Design Phase; Citizen Dan First Exemplar Structured Dynamics has been in a fervent -- and, we believe, fruitful -- design phase for the past 18 months. All of the working parts related to how to embrace becoming a semantic enterprise have now been defined and designed. Actual tools and components accompany many of these parts and have been deployed. Recently, I have been speaking and blogging much about rationale, process, mindset and approach for how to bring semantics into the organization. But, prior to now, we have not spoken much about the overall design behind our approach. Today, as we complete our design phase and introduce our first exemplar instance of it -- Citizen Dan [1] -- we are finally in a position to describe this overall approach. We term our approach the open semantic framework, also OSF. The open semantic framework is a combination of a layered architecture and modular software. The open semantic framework represents the software component of the four-component total open solution, recently described in a three part series. I return to this topic in the conclusion of this post. Revisiting Design Objectives Over the past nine months, I have been focusing my writing largely on the semantic enterprise, with more specificity regarding our Open SEAS (Semantic Enterprise Adoption and Solutions) initiative. In bits and pieces, these writings have tended to reflect a number of objectives: Leverage existing information assets (data + structure) as much as possible Develop incrementally, and validate and justify as you go Emphasize, where possible, open standards and open software Employ Web-oriented architectures Adopt an open-world approach that acknowledges that information is most often incomplete; the approach is a key enabler for incremental deployments Use URIs as object identifiers, and use linked data where practical Embrace any data format found in the wild, but use RDF as the ultimate integration data model Design …
