Adaptive information refers to when one system is made capable of using parts of another system in a meaningful way without requiring the systems to become tightly coupled.

New Paradigm for considering application integration and B2B problems
Heightens the importance of conveying meaning between systems
Addresses movement in the EAI space toward more data handling capabilities
Offers a solution for the multitude of managers disconnected with the latest technologies
Leverages the technical advances made in complex data integration over 15 years
Shifts the focus from technology solutions to information solutions
Relies heavily on the use of practical examples, tips, definitions, and soapbox excerpts throughout the main body of text

JEFFREY T. POLLOCK is an executive leader in the enterprise software business, as well as a university instructor and technology visionary in the emerging field of data semantics. RALPH HODGSON is the cofounder of TopQuadrant, a consulting firm that specializes in semantic technologies and services for software innovation through "Solution Envisioning with Capability Cases."
