From Table-Driven to Ontology-Driven: Why Data Alone Can't Explain Business

This article argues that ontology-driven modeling — defining business concepts like delivery, deferral, and confirmation — enables AI and humans to trace actual order records, distinguish occurred facts from pending requests and causal guesses, and answer why an order was delayed without full system rewrite or event sourcing.

Semantic Decoupling: What Ontology Changes Can (and Can't) Spare You From Rewriting

This article analyzes the practical limits of semantic decoupling through ontology models, showing that while field renames and stable contracts can be isolated via mapping layers, rule changes require verified data and computation, and new actions demand real execution paths — value lies in precisely scoping change impact, not promising zero development.
