Illumonus LLC Renews Emphasis on Semantic Analytical Services
SAN FRANCISCO December 5, 2012—Interoperability is one of the most overused words in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) world. Yet, everyone wants it. International interoperability is even harder—requiring the integration of organizational, legal, technical, and semantic elements. Yet it is the foundations for free and efficient trade across borders.
The biggest challenges to interoperability in both the public and private sectors are at the strategic and semantic levels. But the really difficult area, requiring global knowledge and quality resources, is at the semantic level. The critical issue is that if semantic data is interpreted differently, computerized collaboration is extremely limited. Many entities have not yet faced up to these issues or, mistakenly, have felt that the arrival of XML systems and schemas will solve the problem. That is not the case.
Illumonus’ services address these issues offering public and private entities high quality advice based on years of experience in designing eBusiness information exchange systems. For more information on Illumonus’ semantic interoperability services contact us at "info [at] illumonus.com".
WCO Data Model – We See Need for Policy Change
Illumonus has released an open letter to the Secretary General World Customs Organization (WCO) expressing our disappointment with the WCO’s highly restrictive policy regarding the dissemination and potential use of the WCO Data Model. We feel policy has limited the Model’s potential as an important tool for broader interoperability in the areas of international standards development and trade facilitation. We also feel that this policy raises an issue regarding the proper ownership of intellectual property for the data incorporated in the Data Model. We encourage your review of our Open Letter and appreciate any support through resources available to you to alter the WCO’s current policy toward usage, publication, and pricing of its data model.
