Abstract

Enterprise agility is more important now than ever. An agile enterprise needs to involve a wide variety of stakeholders in its information gathering and management efforts. This results in a number of disconnected data silos. A number of technologies have been applied to this problem, but none have been fully successful in resolving the fundamental enterprise-level issues. The World Wide Web is the only technology that has been proven to be able to scale to an appropriate size to resolve the fundamental enterprise issues. This paper describes the Linked Data enterprise, in which Semantic Web technology is used to address the fundamental issues that prevent enterprises from achieving the agility they require.
