Application
Business semantics management empowers all stakeholders in the organization by a consistent and aligned definition of the important information assets of the organization.
The available business semantics can be leveraged in the so-called business/social layer of the organization. They can for example be easily coupled to a content management application to provide the business with a consistent business vocabulary or enable better navigation or classification of information, leveraged by enterprise search engines, leveraged to make richer semantic-web-ready websites, etc.
Business semantics can also be used to increase operational efficiency in the technical/operation layer of the organization. Business semantics provide a kind of abstracted, federated, and virtualized way to access and deliver data in a more efficient and aligned manner. In that respect, it is similar to EII with the added benefit that the shared models are not described in technical terms but in a way that is easily understood by the business.
Collibra is the first organization to commercialize the idea behind business semantics management. Collibra's approach to Business Semantics Management is based on DOGMA, a research project at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel.

Famous quotes containing the word application:
“The best political economy is the care and culture of men; for, in these crises, all are ruined except such as are proper individuals, capable of thought, and of new choice and the application of their talent to new labor.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“May my application so close
To so endless a repetition
Not make me tired and morose
And resentful of man’s condition.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“By an application of the theory of relativity to the taste of readers, to-day in Germany I am called a German man of science, and in England I am represented as a Swiss Jew. If I come to be regarded as a bête noire the descriptions will be reversed, and I shall become a Swiss Jew for the Germans and a German man of science for the English!”
—Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
