Google, Yahoo!, Bing, and Yandex all rely on structured data markup in HTML pages to improve the display of search results, making it easier for people to find the right web pages. Last June, these search engines announced a joint initiative called schema.org. Schema.org is a shared markup vocabulary that webmasters can use to describe information in their pages in ways recognized by these major search providers.

How Can Semantics Help Us Achieve Model-Driven Everything?

Executive Summary

There are a variety of tools and approaches available to model the enterprise and its processes. Almost all of these lack a clear, standards-based semantics and the ability to integrate different types of enterprise models. Semantic technology addresses some but not all enterprise modeling needs. Hence enterprise modeling can derive significant benefit from embracing semantics, and semantic technology might be made significantly more robust and valuable by applying the community’s skills to enterprise modeling problems at-hand.
