Explains how Semantic Web technologies enhance information architecture by adding meaning and context to data. Using semantic models and ontologies (such as RDF and OWL), organizations can describe data consistently and enable systems to infer new knowledge from existing information. The author emphasizes that semantic models closely align with enterprise conceptual data models and should be developed with strong involvement from data architects. When integrated with broader information architecture elements like metadata and governance, semantic technologies improve data integration, shared understanding between business and IT, and support more effective knowledge discovery across the enterprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
