Managing Director, One World Information System (OWIS), a non-profit management education and research corporation, (http://www.one-world-is.org). roy@one-world-is.org. (VHO)
{ Formerly Senior Architect on 2005 project for ontology-based Continuity Communication Enterprise Architecture (CC EA) of US Federal Executive Branch (FEB). (1XQ2)
(Note: The ontology capability used for CCEA is what I refer to as a terminology-based "contextual model" built on what I've described as a "general ontology" and "hub ontology", which I believe provides stronger semantics and greater capabilities for interoperability and integration than the "logical theory" form of strong ontology and "conceptual model" form of weak ontology described in the 01/12/06 Ontolog Forum on the "Ontology Spectrum", in the excellent presentation by Dr. Leo Orbst of Mitre. According to that spectrum, I believe that this "general ontology" approach uses 2nd-order logic and what I've seen referred to as "axiology". That is, the approach used for CCEA applies, integrates, and unifies all of the capabilities of the semantic spectrum.) {nid FIO} } (1XQ3)

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS > Served as Chief Enterprise Architect of the U.S. Federal Executive Branch's Continuity Communication Enterprise Architecture (CCEA, Business Continuity) project; the terminology-driven approach was recommended by EA experts as the foundation for the next U.S. Federal Enterprise Architecture. > Designed, developed and utilized a terminology-driven IT Resource Management system for a 300,000-person Army Command; which was accepted as a standard Army IT management system and was integrated as part of a DoD IT management system and approach. > Personally established, planned and led an terminology-driven, EA-based organizational transformation for a 16,000-person geographically-dispersed Army Command, over a four-year period, resulting in re-approved mission statement, zero-based budget, mission-equipment, staffing, structure, and first IT WAN/LAN/PC/Server capability. > Invented, developed, improved, and applied, since 1982, a terminology-management-approach to holistic enterprise operations management, knowledge organization and sharing, and unified architectures, encompassing and extending what is now called Web 2.0 and Web 3.0, to dramatically reduce the cost of operations while increasing productivity, responsiveness, and quality, and dramatically reduce the cost and time for successful improvements and transformation in the organization and its IT and other technologies.
