Melding People-Process-Technology into More than a Maxim Engineering a solution through analysis,
trade-off, and integration Explicit definition of human meaning mapped
to machine functions Continuous, iterative improvements The glue: A streamlined framework mapping
from human knowledge to explicit concepts to rules to semantics

The Enterprise Data Environment (EDE) Arises From Lessons Learned Industry recognition of failure of technology and
business processes to both meet current and future information challenges and the need for a “technology” that can be used in real organizations
Standards for metadata, object models, data storage, data transmission, coding
Acceptance of need for unified designs coupling people (aka organizations) to technology (aka computer tools) to process (aka specified procedures)
