| Syllabus |
This module covers the architectural approaches of Information Engineering
to analyse, model, design, and implement information-driven applications
and services across the Web and other platforms. Effective Information
Engineering is the key to interoperability across these systems and
plays a leading role in the standardisation of information semantics
within communities and across domains. This module will develop the
critical skills to understand and use applied techniques in the
development of information standards with a focus on modeling and
semantics with advanced and emerging technologies. |
| Objectives |
The objective of this module is to explore
the range of Enterprise Information Architecture methodologies and
technologies used to design and implement data and information-rich
applications and services. |
| Learning outcomes |
- The ability to understand the core concepts of
Information Architecture approaches and how they can drive
improved business objectives
- The ability to apply and assess these approaches and
methodologies to real-world application domains
- The ability to develop new relevant proposals in the
field to address industry requirements
|
