So you're managing your first SOA project, now what? You need to figure out a few things including an approach, staffing, planning, budget, and candidate standards and technologies. Indeed, getting your SOA project going is complex and tricky, and those who don't understand exactly what they are doing are at a much higher risk for failure. With millions of dollars at stake considering the cost of the project and potential benefits, failure is not an option.

In this Webinar I'll show you, step by step, how to get your first SOA project going, including what to think about in terms of methodologies and approaches, tools and technologies, staffing, budgets, and realistic planning techniques that will make you a SOA hero right out of the gate.

When dealing with SOA, as you know by now, we are dealing with much complexity. The notion of ontologies and semantics helps the SOA architect prepare generalizations that make the problem domain more understandable. In contrast to abstraction, generalization ignores many of the details and ends up with general ideas. Therefore, when generalizing, we start with a collection of types and analyze commonalities to generalize them.

Clearly, semantic heterogeneity and divergence hinders the notion of generalization, and as commonalities of two entities are represented in semantically different ways, the differences are more difficult to see. Thus, ontological analysis clears the ground for generalization, making the properties of the entities much more clear. Indeed, ontological analysis for SOA encourages generalization.

In this session we take the mystery out of the use of Ontologies, providing the attendee with a step-by-step approach to the use of Ontologies and Supporting W3C standards.
