Role
Principal Semantic Architect
OCTAVIA / ServiceNow
Semantic Data Objects
Eight governed objects modelling identity, work, service, topology, SLA, risk, change and knowledge — rather than replicating ticket tables.
Architecture Flow
§ 01 Context
The architecture integrates ServiceNow into OCTAVIA as a computational representation of work, service, time, risk, identity, topology and knowledge, not as a ticketing replica.
§ 02 Designed System
◆Semantic modelling in place of table-level replication
◆Eight governed Data Objects
◆Explicit optimisation rationale for cross-domain queries
§ 03 Capabilities
- —Cross-domain traceability from change to service level
- —Executable SLA and risk analysis
- —Knowledge and evidence resolution linked to operational work

What Is a Data Object?
*The term Data Object is often used loosely to describe a table, file, API payload, business entity, or data product. Such ambiguity undermines the very stability the concept is intended to provide. This essay offers a rigorous definition: a Data Object is a versioned logical contract representing a coherent entity, event, state, or document-like assertion, with explicit identity, temporal semantics, attributes, relations, quality constraints, provenance, and governance. It is independent of any single source or physical storage format, though it must be implementable in concrete technologies. The essay develops a formal tuple for Data Objects, distinguishes them from source records and consumer views, and analyses granularity, lifecycle, compatibility, and ownership. Philosophically, the Data Object is treated as an institutional object: neither a natural thing nor an arbitrary schema, but a stabilised representation whose legitimacy depends on transparent rules and continued use.*
