Semantic Technologies are designed to extend the capabilities
of information on the Web and enterprise systems to be networked
in meaningful ways. The adoption of World Wide Web Consortium
(W3C) standards like XML, RDF (Resource Description Framework)
and OWL (Web Ontology Language) serve as foundation technologies
to advancing the adoption of semantic technologies.
Oracle Spatial 11g introduces the industry's
first open, scalable, secure and reliable RDF management platform.
Based on a graph data model, RDF triples are persisted, indexed
and queried, similar to other object-relational data types. The
Oracle 11g RDF database ensures that application developers
benefit from the scalability of Oracle 11g to deploy scalable
and secure semantic applications. Application areas include:
Life
Sciences: Biological pathway analysis, discovery and enhanced
search.
Defense & Intelligence: Data and content
integration, reasoning and inference.
Enterprise Application Integration: Data and
systems integration, semantic enterprise integration and semantic
web services.
CRM/ERP: Supply chain integration, sourcing
optimization and customer service automation.
Application developers can now use the power of
the Oracle 11g Database to design and develop a wide range
of semantic-enhanced business applications.

Semantic Web Business Case, Jeff Pollack, OracleAt
the end of this short paper, the reader should understand the overall
superiority of Semantic Web technologies and be able to describe why
it is very likely that they will be embedded in the fabric of nearly
all data-intensive software within several years.
