DESCRIPTION:Click for Latest Location Information: http://semtechbizsf2012.semanticweb.com/sessionPop.cfm?confid=65&proposalid=4683\nMany organizations are plagued with the inability to share actionable information across their various business units, and this problem is exacerbated by the ever increasing data sources and size of data being collected.  Semantic technologies, and the associated standards Resource Description Framework (RDF) and Web Ontology Language (OWL), hold promise for providing the tools required for capture and dissemination of complex information across the services.\nThis session will present a proven approach to applying semantic technologies to provide enterprise-level information sharing by utilizing cloud computing technologies as a scalable back end infrastructure coupled with light-weight widget-based UI?s on the front end, and semantic technologies as the agile data space. This approach leverages the power of large-scale RDF graphs in a cloud environment, while shielding the end user from the complexities associated with backend infrastructure. Certain real-world use cases of this approach will be discussed to highlight both the benefits and challenges, including: \n?	Semantic integration of disparate data sources using layered federated ontologies \n?	Provenance of topics and concepts across unstructured data sources and integration with structured data \n?	Capture of SME information necessary to deploy end user applications (e.g., desktop and mobile apps), for a variety of domain applications.
