Seminar: International Conference on Business Information Systems (BIS-09), Poznan, Towards Models for Judging the Maturity of Enterprises for Semantics

In recent years, semantic technologies have been included in broader and broader areas of application deployment, and their scope has been constantly expanding. The differences amongst them, however, are often vast and the successes of such investments are uncertain. This work provides a possible approach to the categorization of semantic applications and uses it to formulate a set of critical success factors of the deployment of these technologies in a business environment. Finally, it outlines how it is possible to formulate the maturity models of enterprises for preliminary assessment of the investments into semantic applications.
