Steve,

You're just too fast. The Ontology-WG was next on my list to receive the 
announcement. Thanks to Harry for agreeing to co-sponsor this. I think it will be 
very interesting. Please let me know if you are planning to come so that we 
can make sure we have enough seats.

Thanks,

Gail

Dear SWIG Members,
 
The SWIG is not dead ? it has just been sleeping for a while!!!
 
You are invited to a presentation co-sponsored by the GSFC Metadata Review 
Group (MRG), the Goddard Ontology Working Group, and the Goddard Library.  The 
presentation is entitled: ?Semantic Service Oriented Architecture.  It will be 
presented by Lieutenant Commander Sam Chance, USN, Retired.  The presentation 
will be on 2/23 from 10:00 ? 12:00 in Building 21 (Library Building) in 
Conference Room 183B, located on the 1st Floor before you enter the Library.
 
If you are planning on attending, please let me know ASAP, so we may be 
assured of adequate seating.  If you do not have a required badge to get on Center, 
please let me know at least three days in advance so that proper arrangements 
can be made.
 
I hope to see you on the 23rd.
 
Walt

Abstract
 
Semantic Service Oriented Architecture:
Aligning IT with Business Operations and Closing the ?IT Gap?
Lieutenant Commander Sam Chance, USN, Retired
 

Presently, business processes are largely completed using Information 
Technology (IT). Unfortunately, a ?gap? exists between IT and business analysts that 
results in fragmented, human-centric execution of end-to-end processes. The ?
IT gap? requires otherwise non-technical users to perform IT-intensive tasks 
to complete workflows.  Further, awareness of available resources is often 
limited. The end result of this IT-driven, human centric model is fragmented, 
sub-optimal operations. Our approach to closing the "IT gap" is labeled Semantic 
Service Oriented Architecture (SSOA).  SSOA enables dynamic discovery of new 
business services and data as they become available and provides resources that 
enable semantic, machine interpretable, descriptions of those services and 
data.  Embedded workflow and agent technologies leverage ?semantically enabled? 
metadata allowing end users to rapidly construct new "virtual" applications 
according to business needs using shared, reusable business services.  SSOA 
foundations and motivations are presented, along with detailed technical 
descriptions, metadata functions and architectural considerations are presented.

Bio
 

Lieutenant Commander (LCDR) Sam Chance (USN Retired) recently served as the 
Technical Director for a DoD multimillion dollar, large-scale Knowledge Systems 
program.  He is presently responsible for vision, architecture design and 
oversight of multiple rapid prototyping programs.  He serves as a technical 
consultant on various knowledge management programs, and has developed a reputation 
as a leader in enterprise semantics based computing architecture design.
 
Since 2004, LCDR Chance has been involved in the eXtended Metadata Registries 
(XMDR), a multi-agency project to incorporate more semantics into the current 
ISO 11179 metadata registry standard.
 
LCDR Chance earned his M.S. in Information Systems Technology from the Naval 
Postgraduate School in 2003.  His master?s coursework centered on design and 
development of Semantic Web technologies including Knowledge Representation 
(KR), autonomous software agents, and distributed computing in support of 
military applications.
 
He enlisted in the Navy in 1983 in the Advanced Electronics Field.  During 
his 12 years enlisted service he installed, maintained, and operated 
cryptographic telephony and data communications systems.  In 1995 he earned his BS in EET 
from Florida A&M University where he also completed extensive Mathematics and 
Electrical Engineering coursework.  
 
Commissioned in 1995, LCDR Chance led operational, logistical, and training 
support of a globally distributed communications system.  In 1999 he 
transferred to Headquarters, Naval Security Group as a staff technical action officer.  
He was responsible for network security architecture and network defense 
policy development.  LCDR Chance developed Navy Information Assurance (IA) 
strategies and articulated IA policy recommendations to executive-level military 
officers.
