Ontology Definition Metamodel (ODM) Version 1.0 Revision Task Force (RTF)

The mission of this task force is to address issues or problems found with the Ontology Definition Metamodel (ODM) 1.0 specification <http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?formal/09-05-01> and produce a report describing changes that will be used to revise the ODM, ultimately producing an ODM 1.1 specification.

Telecons are held on:

• Wednesday at 1700 UTC(GMT) / 12 noon Eastern / 9 am Pacific
• Weekly telecon details are emailed to the RTF mailing list.

Minutes for all conference calls are available on the ODM RTF mailing list archive, which is odm-rtf@omg.org. They are also captured on the OMG server as ptc/ documents.

Our current focus is on (1) reorganization of the RDF and OWL metamodels to eliminate known issues and support OWL 2, and (2) revise the UML profiles for RDF and OWL to address usability issues and add support for OWL 2.
