Certain milestones redefine an industry, and we’re on the cusp of one right now. The Open Group OSDU® Forum will soon be releasing the OSDU Data Platform Standard Version 1.0 that has been quietly reshaping the energy ecosystem from the inside out. Version 1.0 represents a stable subset of a current OSDU Data Platform release capabilities by defining detailed, consistent behaviors for a defined set of APIs. It involves a set of guidelines created by The Open Group OSDU Forum, and it is meant for companies in the energy industry to better manage and use their data.  Further providing a clear and predictable interface between applications and conformant OSDU Data Platform implementation instances, enabling greater interoperability across Cloud Providers and Vendor Applications.

7 ways a Platform can fuel the App Economy

by

Earlier this year a Technet sponsored study showed that in February there were roughly 466,000 jobs in the “App Economy” in the United States. This so-called App Economy had zero jobs just 5 years ago, before the iPhone was introduced. The term “App Economy” isn’t formally defined but is often used to refer to the economy that has been created due to the development and delivery of software applications for.

Apps Break Data

by

Information is not a first-class citizen in corporate information systems. Worse, it is neglected. Then why do we still call them information systems? We don’t. We call them applications. And applications, quite appropriately, are built or purchased with an application-centric mindset. Consequently, data is broken into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications, and expensive to […]

Architecture Across Ages

by

We stand atop the shoulders of giants when we gaze at the majestic ruins of the Parthenon or wander through the crisp geometry of a Doric temple. It may not seem obvious at first, but the foundations of Enterprise Architecture are laid on the same principles that guided the stone masons of ancient Greece — balance, clarity, purpose, and adaptability. The discipline of designing the shapes of complex systems, whether in IT ecosystems or on the Athenian Acropolis, shares a lineage of thought that transcends time. Architecture across the ages.

EA: The Missing Puzzle Piece

by

The words Enterprise Architecture often elicit a predictable reaction: a nod of polite acknowledgement, sometimes tinted by mild apprehension or indifference. Somewhere along the line, it became something that busily hums behind the scenes, tucked away in senior briefing decks or internal frameworks, occasionally referenced but rarely felt at the grassroots. Yet that quiet presence hides a paradox. For many organizations striving to steer through complexity, boost resilience, and drive transformation, Enterprise Architecture is not an optional refinement — it is the missing puzzle piece that makes everything else fall into place.

Foundational frameworks like TOGAF and Zachman established their relevance by delivering systematic approaches for IT landscape planning and governance. These methodologies enabled organisations to […]

Decoupling

The history of information technologies can be looked at as a punctuated increase in degrees of freedom. Removing a dependency opens up new possibilities. A freedom from is also a freedom for. This is the fourth essay in the Autonomy and Cohesion series. The first one was about the basics of the balance, why it is important, where it works […]

Data-centric project requirements?

Several times this week, in different circumstances, I was asked a question having these three words close together. That’s not new. It happened previously. But this concentration triggered the write-up that follows. Nothing original and neither is the reason to write it: Everything that needs to be said has already been said. But since no […]
