Mission:    Contacts:

To enable the OMG to rapidly develop ontology- related technology by

  • bringing together the expertise in the semantics of software with the expertise for knowledge representation, consistency checking, and knowledge-processing, in order to leverage each other’s technologies
  • coordinating the semantic foundations of the platform independent models within OMG domain activities and to encourage the various domain-oriented groups to adopt appropriate ontology technologies as a means of maximizing reuse of members' contributions
  • capturing OMG's existing domain knowledge to maximize reuse of experience gained from developing domain-oriented APIs
  • developing working relationships among OMG activities and related activities, such as the semantic web and agent communities and
  • gathering together prior work and developing white papers, languages, and mappings (profiles and MOF metamodels).

Hot topic!!!

W3C will be holding a workshop on RDF Next Steps in the California Bay Area after the upcoming Semantic Technology Conference in June to discuss possible new standardization efforts for RDF.

OASIS has formed the new QUOMOS TC to define a standard ontology for physical quantities and units of measure.

New:

A new RFP is being drafted to create a standard API for Knowledge Bases (API4KB) such as those in OWL and RDF tools.
