What are Semantic Technologies and Why Should I Care?

Is Semantic Technology the "next big thing", or another impractical,
over-hyped fad destined to waste time and resources without producing
tangible results?
How can you separate what is possible from what is practical?

In this session we'll hear from Mills Davis of Top Quardrant and Theresa
Regli of Molecular as we discuss these and other issues related to Semantic
Technologies. You can read Theresa and Mills' bios at the Earley &
Associates events page http://www.earley.com/events.htm


- How do we define Semantic Technology?
- What tools are included in this definition?
- How does this relate to Taxonomies and Thesauri?
- What do we need to know about Ontologies?
- What is a practical application for Semantic Technology?
- What are likely applications in the medium term?
- Is there anything I should be considering in the short term?
- What kinds of things should be possible?
