Interview: IBM on the Linked Data Platform - W3C Blog
Shortly after W3C announced the launch of the Linked Data Platform Working Group , I spoke with Arnaud Le Hors about IBM's interest in linked data and their decision to co-chair the Working Group. IJ : Why did IBM get involved in organizing the Linked Enterprise Data Patterns Workshop in December 2011 and now the Linked Data Platform Working Group ? ALH : IBM has been involved in Semantic Web activities from the beginning, but primarily from a research perspective. Until recently we had no products using the technology. Now we have IBM Rational , which develops a set of tools for application and product lifecycle management (requirements, bugs, etc.). Other parts of IBM are actively exploring it for complementary purposes.

Ontology is one of the more daunting terms for those exposed for the first time to the semantic Web. Not only is the word long and without many common antecedents, but it is also a term that has widely divergent use and understanding within the community. It can be argued that this not-so-little word is one of the barriers to mainstream understanding of the semantic Web. The root of the term is the Greek ontos , or being or the nature of things . Literally — and in classical philosophy — ontology was used in relation to the study of the nature of being or the world, the nature of existence . Tom Gruber , among others, made the term popular in relation to computer science and artificial intelligence about 15 years ago when he defined ontology as a “formal specification of a conceptualization.”
Il est naturel de chercher à écrire des règles métiers qui soient faciles à lire et à comprendre à la fois par des dirigeants, des experts métiers et des informaticiens. Pour que ces règles soient facile à lire et à comprendre, il est au moins nécessaire d’utiliser des termes et une syntaxe bien connus de l’ensemble de ces trois catégories de lecteurs. Il ne suffit d’ailleurs pas que ces termes soient connus par tous mais il faut aussi qu’ils évoquent à chacun le même sens, autant éviter quiproquos et autres malentendus, ils sont parfois amusants mais génèrent surtout beaucoup d’inefficacités. L’outil le plus couramment utilisé pour faire connaître et unifier le sens des termes s’appelle un glossaire. La rédaction d’un glossaire est une tâche difficile à réaliser, en tous cas souvent plus difficile que l’on ne se l’imagine.
