Business Context
RDF (meta data) based solutions help:
1. enable accountability… so companies can better
execute their business strategies… using their
next generation web site
2. enable computers to perform more of the web,
content administration, and work-flow related
processing…saving time and money
3. CEO and executive team manage a company’s
resources (RDF): people, processes, and systems
across the extended enterprise
