In order to drive value for our clients, Semantic Arts relies on a proven yet evolving methodology. In many cases, consultant work is viewed as less effective or “throw away” because the consultant doesn’t take the time to learn the business context and specifics of the domain. Semantic Arts on the other hand works diligently to focus first on the use cases and determine ideal project outcomes with the client. Our years of work in various domains and roles is also captured in organizational knowledge and is easily deployed onto each new project, giving us an immediate advantage.

Through decades of refinement, we employ a “think big” (Enterprise) / “start small” (Business Domain) approach to implementation of Data-Centric architecture. We advocate doing both models in tandem to ensure extendable and sustained success. If you only start small (which every agile project advises), you end up recreating the very point solutions and silos you’re working to abandon. And only thinking big tends to build enterprise data models that do not get implemented (we know, because that’s where we started).

Starting with the gist upper ontology combined with the experience of our team, we come into each project well-prepared for the challenges ahead. As we learn new things with each client and project, we incorporate those lessons back into gist, making it representative of the sum of our experience in more than 100 projects in numerous domains and clients.
