IT keeps the business running but…
Cannot achieve business goals of transparency, integration, agility, efficiency, while:
IT has thousands of incompatible data resources & applications
Dozens of middleware instances
No clear catalog (metadata) of IT assets, structures, interdependencies
No consistent business architecture
No automatic support for developers (discovery, code generation, impact analysis, change notification…)
No automatic support for IT managers (portfolio management, redundancy analysis,…)
No business metadata for IT analysts

4. Pilot Outline Problem Solution Provide Support to Run-time environment
Water Quality Data from EPA and TVA must to integrated and shared
Common Model
Agencies must share the data
Data is in different formats, structures, etc
Solution
Design environment
Import the data through the metamodel (based on DRM)
Map to an ontology (based on OWL)
Store in a RDB (based on JDBC)
Provide Support to Run-time environment
Enterprise Information Integration
Data Warehouse
Web-Services
Business Intelligence tools
Proprietary tools

5. Integration Pilot Benefits

8. Semantic Enterprise Information Management
Capture common business language & reusable business information rules in ontology model
Map every data schema once only to ontology model
Captures data’s business semantics in a reusable way
Elevate from data to business information
Replace n2 point-to-point mapping
Source of ontology
Industry standards, off-the-shelf industry models
Reverse engineering existing schemas and models
Original ontology modeling in Unicorn
Features
Schema generation and sub-setting – create new schemas based on corporate standards
Standards management: manage industry standards and their versions and extensions
Semantic discovery: find & classify data based on meaning; find data redundancies
Semantic comparison: compare/translate between data formats based on meaning
Semantic EII: federate data into a virtual business database (using third party EII tool)
All point-to-point mappings are inferred and updated on demand

10. Differentiators of the Unicorn System™
Universal Repository: Graphical run-time extensibility of repository structure (metamodel) to accommodate every aspect of IT (configuration management, metadata, business architecture, ITIL,…)
Multiples user levels: Supports CIO dashboard and business analyst down to active services for developers
Semantics: Ability to map disparate data formats to a common information model (ontology)
Information-on-demand: Data queries and transformations can be inferred automatically from semantic mapping
Metadata management: Mapping & federating/consolidating metadata sources
Modern technical architecture: J2EE, OS & RDBMS independent, open APIs, JSP Web Interface, plug-and-play metadata adapters
Standards-compliance: OMG MOF/XMI/CWM, OWL, DMTF/CIM, Eclipse…
Enterprise readiness: Scalability, collaboration, permissions, versioning,…
