Recent meetings:

Washington D.C - March 2009

The Ontology PSIG organized a symposium entitled Semantic Technology Information Day at the recent Washington OMG TC meeting. This explored motivations driving use and further development of OMG semantic technologies such as the Ontology Definition Metamodel. Slides from the presentations are linked from here.

Elisa Kendall and Mark Dutra gave a tutorial on the Ontology Definition Metamodel. Slides from this are available here.

The Ontology PSIG is now championing the development of an OMG specification for Common Terminology Service based on the functional specification developed by HL7 known as CTS2.
