Integrating Business Semantics, Metadata Discovery, and Knowledge Management We were given an imperative from our business leaders to provide a friendlier and more collaborative front end on our metadata, in order to aid in adoption of the Enterprise Data Warehouse and engage business SMEs in ownership of data definitions. The set of driving requirements -- ease of navigation, search, and ability for end users to add annotations, comments, and articles that transcend discrete data elements or subject areas - lent themselves to a wiki. This in turn led us to MediaWiki and the rich and diverse array of add-ons developed by the Open Source community, particularly its semantic extensions. Preregistration required.
