Melding People-Process-Technology into More than a Maxim • Engineering a solution through analysis, trade-off, and integration • Explicit definition of human meaning mapped to machine functions • Continuous, iterative improvements • The glue: A streamlined framework mapping from human knowledge to explicit concepts to rules to semantics Capitol Science Forum 29 March 2008
The Enterprise Data Environment (EDE) Arises From Lessons Learned • Industry recognition of failure of technology and business processes to both meet current and future information challenges and the need for a “technology” that can be used in real organizations • Standards for metadata, object models, data storage, data transmission, coding • Acceptance of need for unified designs coupling people (aka organizations) to technology (aka computer tools) to process (aka specified procedures) Capitol Science Forum 29 March 2008
