Enterprise Use Cases

Enterprise Use Cases

Manage Metadata: Concept Model ManagementEvaluate combined bottom-up (folksonomy) and top-down (taxonomies) governance models

Apply Metadata: Text Extraction/Tag RecommenderSupport for free and controlled tags and
Oracle metadata business rules

Exploit Metadata: Search/Browse/DiscoverEvaluating Standard KiWi Search

Manage Metadata

Merge Oracle+Sun taxonomies and relate them where possible

Evaluate Bottom-up+Top-down governance models
(Folksonomies and Taxonomies)

Manage taxonomies and tags using KiWi + PoolParty

Comparison to SunSpace (existing Enterprise 2.0 platform)We are already tagging, but we are managing the tags and their meanings in a rudimentary way

We need it as a crucial part of our infrastructure

Concept Model Mngt. with PoolParty

PoolParty using Linked Data

Apply Metadata

Comply with Oracle annotation practicesRequire usage of controlled taxonomies

Implement annotation business rules

Merge with free tags (concepts) = bottom-up + top-down = folksonomy + taxonomy

Evaluate a new User Interface and interaction model to add free and controlled tags

Improve existing tag recommender with semantic-based technologies
