This living guide bridges semantic theory and real-world implementation — from your first class to automated reasoning. No prior experience needed. Includes lifetime updates, open-source code, video tutorials, and a repeatable methodology for building machine-understandable meaning. The journey begins with pizza. But the real subject is meaning.

Professionals require tools to perform their jobs effectively. Product designers, Salespeople, Managers, and Software Developers all have tools. What about Software Architects?

In diesem Primer erklären wir Data Mesh aus der Engineering-Perspektive.

Building an impressive AI agent demo is easy. Running one in production—reliably, at scale, with governance—is where most enterprises get stuck. Agentic Orchestration shows how BPMN-based process orchestration governs AI agents at scale, drawing on real deployments across banking, telecom, and healthcare. Reasoning without orchestration is expensive chaos. This book shows the way out.

From class hierarchies to semantic logic — Volume 2 takes you deeper into OWL ontology engineering with Protégé and the pizza.owl tutorial. Master object properties, inverse properties, property characteristics, domain and range, and existential/universal restrictions. Learn to build connected, governed, and reasoning-ready knowledge models.

IBM Enterprise COBOL has powered enterprise systems for decades and remains essential to modern mainframe computing. This practical guide covers COBOL fundamentals, modern IBM Enterprise COBOL features, database integration, transaction processing, web services and performance tuning to help you build and maintain reliable business applications.

LLMs and agentic AI are currently generating a great deal of hype. When applied correctly, they can deliver tremendous benefits. This book outlines the challenges involved in implementing these technologies within large enterprises—particularly in regulated environments. It serves as an accessible introduction for IT-focused executives and enterprise architects, while also proving useful for IT professionals in general who wish to explore the subject and avoid common project pitfalls.

Software and infrastructure only create value when they pull in the same direction as the business. This book shows IT leaders how to get there: from shaping IT strategy and the architecture roadmap to the daily discipline of IT and architecture governance, all built on a pattern-based approach that adapts to your organization rather than forcing it into a template.Grounded in established frameworks such as TOGAF, COBIT, and ITIL, it pairs solid fundamentals with numerous real-world examples — and gives growing weight to compliance and IT security, now central concerns of any IT management agenda.This English edition is based on the German standard work on the subject, fully revised in its 4th edition (late 2024). It is current with TOGAF 10 and reflects recent developments in business-oriented enterprise architecture — including the open-source tool EDGY and patterns for digital strategy — alongside the latest trends in IT risk management and cybersecurity architecture.

Most data modelling books teach you the craft. This one teaches you the reality. Seven chapters of honest, practical guidance from real project experience — covering conceptual modelling, governance, enterprise challenges, and the human side of data work that nobody else writes about.

What if time is not merely a clock, but a filter? What if systems fail not because they lack information, but because correction arrives too late to matter? What if technologies become dominant not because they are best, but because they have already reorganized the future around themselves? And what if Human–LLM collaboration is no longer just a sequence of prompts and answers, but an evolving ecology shaped by its own artifacts? Force–Information–Time: Essays on Structural Evolution is a companion volume to the FIT framework. Rather than restating the core theory, it explores what becomes visible when structural thinking is carried across learning, institutions, science, technology, Human–LLM collaboration, and human life.

‘Grip op data’ biedt een kennismaking met data gedreven werken, data management, databases en SQL. Het wordt aangeboden als combinatiepakket: dit leerboek, een online cursusomgeving en een databank met voorbeelden van datatoepassingen, datamodellen en data gedreven werkwijzen.

Digitale Transformation war das Hype-Thema vor KI. Es gibt allerdings einen nicht geringen Anteil an Fach- und Führungskräften, deren Wissen darüber weiter ausbaufähig ist. Dieses Buch ist eine Einführung für alle diejenigen, die keine "digitalen Pioniere" sind, sondern wissen wollen, was aus dem Thema Digitalisierung auf sie zukommen kann und aus dem Thema KI zusätzlich auf sie zukommen wird.

85% of AI projects fail. This book shows you why—and how to be in the 15% that succeed.
