DESCRIPTION:Click for Latest Location Information: http://edw2015.dataversity.net/sessionPop.cfm?confid=87&proposalid=7054\nAn Enterprise Ontology is a formal representation of the meaning of an enterprise's information. Historically creating one has been a laborious process that took many months, often years to complete.\nRecent advances in technology and methodology have now made it possible to build a core enterprise ontology in a matter of weeks, and to refine it gracefully over time. \nIn this presentation we will describe what an enterprise ontology is and distinguish it from a conceptual or logical data model. We will present how the combination of structure free and formal inclusion gives power and flexibility simultaneously. \nWe will show through case studies how companies have been able to build ontologies rapidly and how they have leverage their enterprise ontology onto such diverse initiatives as: Enterprise Message Modeling, Integrating Structured and Unstructured Data, Model Driven Application Development  and Master Data Management. \nAfter attending this session, you will be able to:\nDescribe what an Enterprise Ontology is\nExplain the value in creating an Enterprise Ontology\nOutline the approach and prerequisites for creating an Enterprise Ontology\nSuggest projects that could be greatly enhanced by applying an Enterprise Ontology
