Semantic Data Theory for CMDB Design?
Posted: Fri Sep 21, 2012 7:51 am
Hi,
We're using Semantic Data Theory and Semantic Data Modeling concepts to design and build a very light-weight and low cost implementation of a CMDB that rapidly renders itself as a fully functional and highly organized web-site with advanced visualization features (trees/graphs/charts/etc.). The semantics are being used to automatically control the organization of data and to generate constructs like the CI Catalogs & Inventories, the CIs themselves, and Relationships between CIs.
I'm wondering: Is anyone else using Semantic Data Theory and Modeling for their CMDBs and, if so, what kind of challenges and successes have you had doing so?
Also, if you are, are you using OWL(WOL)/RDF semantic web standards or baking your own?
Thanks for any assistance you can offer.
My Best
