Semantion Privately owned, founded in 2000

First commercial implementation of OASIS ebXML Registry and Repository standard in 2001

Creation of Federated Enterprise Reference Architecture (FERA)-based SOA in 2005

Contributed FERA-SOA to OASIS in 2005 (SOA Information Model, SOA Collaboration Semantics, Run-time SOA)

Involved in one of the first SOA projects with Intel in 2005

Implementation of SOA Virtual Machine (SOA-VM) based on FERA-SOA in 2006

Creation of Tara Ontology Language in 2008

Completion of the Semantion Business Platform (in 2008) with all components needed for metamodeling of enterprise information and business processes, information management, automatic generation of web applications from Tara ontologies, deployment, execution and analysis of business processes

SBP ProvidesModeling of enterprise information

Management of enterprise information

Modeling of business processes

Deployment, execution, and analysis of business processes

Integrated methodology

Single scalable platform

Some SBP SpecificsSingle distributed platform for information

management and business process management

Eliminate extensive codingModel-based environment for data/information and processes

Reuse knowledge and informationCreate metamodels, manage live enterprise data, share

metamodels and data across enterprise, register all functional components and their interfaces

Allow dynamic changesRe-configure processes from building blocks

100% Java-based J2EE highly scalable and reliable platform

Tara Ontology LanguageOntology defines a set of representational

primitives that are used to model a domain of knowledge.

Definitions of the representational primitives include information about their meaning, properties, and rules for their consistent use if needed.

Tara provides an ontological foundation for modeling of business, social, and technology related processes and systems.

Semantion Metamodeler (SM2) is a tool that provides creation of Tara ontologies.

SummarySemantion develops Semantion Business Platform

(SBP) software that enables management of business information and processes.

Semantion also provides a common business management framework supported with a methodology.

The way how Semantion software is virtualized provides a breakthrough solution that not only improves efficiency of in-house software model but also enables a cloud computing (Software as a Service) in the area of modeling and automating business processes.
