>>*The Model Driven Semantic Web - Emerging
>>Technologies & Implementation Strategies*
>>by Elisa Kendall
>
>>*Abstract*:
>
>>The Object Management Group's (OMG) Meta Object
>>Facility (MOF) defines the metadata
>>architecture for Model Driven Architecture
>>(MDAŽ) and provides a basis for automating
>>metadata management. Metadata, in this context,
>>includes database schema, UML (Unified
>>Modeling Language) models, workflow models,
>>business process models, business rules, API
>>definitions, and so on. MOF defines standards
>>for automating the physical management and
>>integration of different kinds of metadata
>>through metamodels and mappings among them.
>
>>The Semantic Web is a logical extension of
>>existing World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
>>standards, such as XML, XML Schema, and SOAP
>>that enables explicit representation of
>>business semantics. The goal is to make
>>domain-specific context, nomenclature, and the
>>language used to describe content and services
>>on the web unambiguous from a computing
>>perspective. Its underlying formalisms and
>>technologies have evolved from more than two
>>decades of research in knowledge
>>representation, computational linguistics, and
>>automated reasoning.
>
>>MDA and the Semantic Web were conceived
>>independently and evolved with little
>>cross-pollination over the course of several
>>years. However, participants from both
>>communities have recognized business benefits
>>to bridging the two technologies to form a
>>coherent, enterprise information
>>interoperability architecture. The main
>>realization of this to date is the Ontology
>>Definition Metamodel (ODM) standard, which is
>>nearing completion in OMG with the
>>participation of key members of the Semantic
>>Web community.
>
>>In this talk, we will:
>
>>o Provide a high-level overview of the technology areas.
>
>>o Introduce some of the standards and related
>>work that has been done to date to bridge these
>>communities.
>
>>o Discuss the relationships between these
>>standards and others emerging from the ISO/IEC
>>Metadata standards community (e.g., ISO 11179,
>>ISO 19763, XMDR)
>
>>o Discuss related efforts in the W3C and OMG
>>and how they may relate to the ODM over the
>>course of the next couple of years (e.g., W3C
>>Semantic Web Services & Rules, OMG Semantics of
>>Business Vocabularies and Rules (SBVR),
>>Production Rules)
>
>>o Explore ground-breaking research and its
>>implications for next generation architectures
>>and solutions that embrace the marriage of MDA
>>and Semantic Web services technologies.

>>*About the Speakers:*
>
>>*Ms. Elisa Kendall* is the CEO of Sandpiper
>>Software, which she founded in 1995. She has
>>over 25 years professional experience in the
>>design, development and deployment of
>>enterprise-scale information management systems
>>for communications, high technology, and
>>manufacturing applications, with a focus on
>>information interoperability. Over the last
>>five years she has been instrumental in
>>bridging emerging technologies from
>>professional software engineering disciplines,
>>such as the Object Management Group (OMG)'s
>>Model Driven Architecture (MDAŽ) methodology,
>>which provides a basis for automating metadata
>>management, and knowledge representation and
>>reasoning (Semantic Web) technologies. She is
>>principal architect of Sandpiper's UML-based
>>knowledge representation, ontology analysis,
>>and reasoning architecture, and has developed
>>rigorous methodologies for domain assessment
>>and ontology design and development. Her formal
>>training in Situation Semantics coupled with
>>extensive systems integration experience led to
>>Sandpiper's innovative approach.
>
>>Ms. Kendall currently supports a number of key
>>customers in large scale, complex taxonomy,
>>ontology and knowledge-based systems
>>development activities, leads the ontology and
>>policy-based network management segment of
>>SPARTA's DARPA/SAPIENT effort, and is a key
>>contributor to standards such as the OMG's
>>Ontology Definition Metamodel (ODM). She is an
>>active participant in the Semantic Web Best
>>Practices and Deployment activity at the W3C,
>>with a focus on software and ontology
>>engineering. Recent customer projects include
>>supporting development of ontologies for a
>>large-scale chemical engineering application,
>>development of ontologies for monitoring and
>>management of software in a service-oriented
>>architecture (SOA) framework, and policy-based
>>information integration architecture
>>development for a financial services company.
>
>>While acting as an independent consultant for
>>Lockheed Martin in early 1996, she conceived
>>the notion of applying knowledge sharing
>>technologies to complex engineering data
>>integration and drove the reuse strategy for
>>the DARPA/TRI-Services RASSP program. Before
>>founding Sandpiper, Ms. Kendall served as
>>product development manager for Aspect
>>Development, a provider of component and
>>supplier management systems acquired by i2
>>Technologies. She started her career in
>>development, integration, and deployment of
>>ground-based communications, signal, and data
>>processing systems at Lockheed Martin Missiles
>>& Space. She holds an MA in Linguistics from
>>Stanford University and a BS in Mathematics and
>>Computer Science from the University of
>>California at Los Angeles.
