Information sharing is essential for enterprise supply chains, fighting terrorism and integrating enterprise applications. Yet, this essential capability has remained difficult in information systems which are frequently isolated, stove piped and difficult to integrate. The inability of our systems to share information hampers the ability of our organizations to collaborate - for our processes, services and information resources to work together. Some estimate that more than 1/3 of our information technology budgets are consumed overcoming this "semantic friction" in our systems and that the costs to society from our failure to share and collaborate is many times the systems overhead.

But they suffer when applied to multiple applications for multiple purposes over multiple technologies to deal with unanticipated needs and opportunities. Most mainstream modeling techniques are challenged when faced with federating independently conceived models.

This is not just theory, there are multiple proof points where semantic technologies are providing real solutions today, yet there is still substantial opportunity to develop and leverage these technologies further.
