The Semantic Interoperability Work Group of The Open Group.

The mission of the Semantic Interoperability Work Group is to enable semantic interoperability on a global scale by fostering the development and take-up of vendor-neutral semantic interoperability standards, best practices, and technologies. This will be accomplished by producing deliverables that prove semantic interoperability is real today, and demonstrating how it can add business value.

The work group is developing the Open Data Element Framework (O-DEF), a standard way of indexing enterprise information that can produce big cost savings. This project is the most important activity of the Semantic Interoperability Work Group. The O-DEF supersedes and replaces the former UDEF framework.
