09:00-10:30 Semantics in Enterprise Architecture - a discussion of the use of semantics in enterprise architecture to enable and improve interoperability between enterprise systems. The discussion will cover:

• How can semantics help deliver interoperability?
• How should semantics be addressed in architecture development (in particular, when using TOGAF™)?
• Who are the human actors involved?

11:00-12:30 Semantics in Enterprise Architecture (continued)

• What supporting technology (semantic wikis, vocabulary management systems, registries, etc) should be used?
• How should the semantic technology be integrated with the tools currently used by enterprise architects?
• What standards are available, and what additional standards are needed?

14:00-15:30 UDEF as a global interoperability enabler - discussion of:

• The role of UDEF in enterprise architecture
• Enterprise UDEF registries and interoperability between them
• The supporting technology needed to enable architects to use the UDEF and incorporate it in enterprise architectures

16:00-17:30 Forward planning for:

• The Interoperability project of the Architecture Forum
• The UDEF Project
• Other projects of the Semantic Interoperability Work Group.
