This is the slide deck for a presentation I gave while a student at the University of Houston Downtown, probably some time in 2007. I tried to explain to my classmates the advantages of open source software in business. I just came across this file on an old thumb drive and figured I should upload it somewhere so it hopefully hangs around forever. will.willis@gmail.com

• use what's out there

• contribute back to the community

Thank You!

Questions?

OK, moving on...

Open Source Software
● source code available to everyone

● use, change, redistribute the software

● community-driven / community-serving

● passion & philosophy

Why is
Open Source Software
good for Business?

TCO != Price
Buy Software = Price

Support Software = Add. Cost

Crap Software
$500
TCO = $500
Value = $0

Great Software
$500
TCO = $500
Value = Millions

“Give Away the
Recipe, Open A
Restaurant”

“I know I saved
$80,000 right away by
going to open source,
and each time something like
(Windows) XP comes along, I save
even more money because I don't
have to buy new equipment to run
the software.” CEO Sterling Ball

“The myth has been
built so big that you
can't survive without
Microsoft.”CEO Sterling Ball

Presentation at Jboye11, in Aarhus, November 10th 20111. Business needs makes it necessary to customizing software, but those changes are hard to maintain when upgrading or simply because the original developer has left. Open source software prides itself by having many eyes that look at the code and many commit their time and energy enhancing OSS. Is open source a viable alternative for commercial off-the shelf software (COTS)? Kristian presents the obstacles and opportunities with OSS. He will also shares some practical advice, based on what they have learnt when starting to use OSS.

Sara Mae O’Brien Scott and Tatiana Baquero Cakici, Senior Consultants at Enterprise Knowledge (EK), presented “AI Fast Track to Search-Focused AI Solutions” at the Information Architecture Conference (IAC24) that took place on April 11, 2024 in Seattle, WA. In their presentation, O’Brien-Scott and Cakici focused on what Enterprise AI is, why it is important, and what it takes to empower organizations to get started on a search-based AI journey and stay on track. The presentation explored the complexities of enterprise search challenges and how IA principles can be leveraged to provide AI solutions through the use of a semantic layer. O’Brien-Scott and Cakici showcased a case study where a taxonomy, an ontology, and a knowledge graph were used to structure content at a healthcare workforce solutions organization, providing personalized content recommendations and increasing content findability. In this session, participants gained insights about the following: Most common types of AI categories and use cases; Recommended steps to design and implement taxonomies and ontologies, ensuring they evolve effectively and support the organization’s search objectives; Taxonomy and ontology design considerations and best practices; Real-world AI applications that illustrated the value of taxonomies, ontologies, and knowledge graphs; and Tools, roles, and skills to design and implement AI-powered search solutions.

Heather Hedden, Senior Consultant at Enterprise Knowledge, presented “The Role of Taxonomy and Ontology in Semantic Layers” at a webinar hosted by Progress Semaphore on April 16, 2024. Taxonomies at their core enable effective tagging and retrieval of content, and combined with ontologies they extend to the management and understanding of related data. There are even greater benefits of taxonomies and ontologies to enhance your enterprise information architecture when applying them to a semantic layer. A survey by DBP-Institute found that enterprises using a semantic layer see their business outcomes improve by four times, while reducing their data and analytics costs. Extending taxonomies to a semantic layer can be a game-changing solution, allowing you to connect information silos, alleviate knowledge gaps, and derive new insights. Hedden, who specializes in taxonomy design and implementation, presented how the value of taxonomies shouldn’t reside in silos but be integrated with ontologies into a semantic layer. Learn about: - The essence and purpose of taxonomies and ontologies in information and knowledge management; - Advantages of semantic layers leveraging organizational taxonomies; and - Components and approaches to creating a semantic layer, including the integration of taxonomies and ontologies
