Semantic Arts, US
Semantic Arts has created a set of services that makes it possible to incorporate a deeper level of semantic awareness into your next systems project. However, don't feel constrained by this list. Semantic Arts can deal with pretty much any system problem that deals with meaning. They are:
Greenfield Semantic Design -- When faced with the design of a new system we can lead a project to build a semantic model. This modeling can proceed in parallel with other design efforts. This modeling process invariably uncovers hidden opportunities for re-use, and well as incorporating many more system features into a design, built to outlive the immediate project.
Semantically Driven Legacy Mining -- Before you do another systems integration project, please let us come in and map the semantics of the legacy system. This is going to uncover a great percentage of the upcoming problems long before they occur. The process is three fold. First, with some guidance from someone who understands the names and definitions of the records and fields in the legacy system database will work with us to remap to semantic entities. We will then conduct a series of semantic modeling sessions with knowledgeable domain experts, to uncover the coverage (or lack thereof) of the legacy model. Finally we will test the actual data stored in the Legacy system against the semantics to discover in what way the users have subverted the implemented semantics in order to achieve their desired semantics. This will also lead us to find whether the integrity rules are imposed by the system or manually, and if by the system whether it is uniformly applied.
XML Gear Train -- Very often we find companies with two complementary goals: create a single view of x (where x is their customer, their products, their projects etc.) and develop and ability to participate in the emerging B2B markets. One solution can pull these together: by defining and building an XML based "Gear Train" builds a virtual transmission between the various engines and information drive trains. By basing the Gear Train on XML, retargeting for a given exchange, or 2nd generation EDI, becomes a simple exercise in Navigation Mapping.
Behavioral Analysis -- not yours, your systems. One of the other major semantics of systems is how they behave. What they do is a great telltale for what they mean. In this phase of work we reverse engineer the meaning out of a detailed examination of the systems behavior.
Architectural Design -- there are a lot of tools and middleware options out there that purport to not only enable your eCommerce initiatives, but do so in a way to promote semantic ... We can help by first sorting through and documenting your needs in a semantically based middleware, and then helping you sort through the multitude of offerings to pick one (or several) to base your architecture on.
Information system planning -- A more traditional practice, however we have found that our semantic approach leads to much more useful information system plans. Rather than focus on the best of breed, pick a bunch of silo applications, we look considerably past that and explore which infrastructure projects could supplement additional applications and integration.
Internet Application Integration (IAI) -- The Internet has made it possible to integrate systems across organizational boundaries, but traditional ways of thinking about applications prevent us from implementing them effectively. The solution, of course, has a semantic basis. In this case the semantic observation is that traditional applications are designed from a corporation specific point of view. For instance, a corporation will see certain other corporations as suppliers, and others as customers. In a few cases one company will be in both categories. But the more interesting thing that seems to be lost on most systems, is that the act of treating someone as a supplier automatically makes us a customer. Avoiding this requires that we get past duplicating information to represent this, but instead represent it via "points of view."
