RE: Interesting Govt. Health IT Writeup on Web 3.0 (Semantic Web) and Health IT

Mark,

 

It's interesting to see that even the traditionally risk averse healthcare IT
types are looking at Semantic Web technologies.

 

The key issue is that in the enterprise context, the value proposition is very
different ... For instance, we are looking at

flexibility, maintenance, change management and cost reduction.

 

Cheers,

No doubt a great many people will be watching to see how well the early adopting
orgs' web 3.0/SW efforts go, particularly in health management.

 

Interesting discussion and differing perspectives on risk aversion and embracing
of innovation in large organizations:
