[ontoiop-forum] News from OMG meeting

[Fabian Neuhaus]

Dear All, 

I have very good news from the OMG meeting in La Jolla. DOL is on a very good way to be adopted as a standard!

The Architecture and Design Task Force has recommended adoption and the OMG Architecture Board has voted approval. These are two of the five entities that need to approve in order to adopt a submission. Usually, proposals who get this far in the process are adopted by OMG. This is hopefully going to happen within the next 6 weeks. 

After the adoption, the finalization process starts. The finalization process is intended to clean up the document, no significant changes are made and no new features are added. Further, the document is now available for public comments. After the end of the finalization phase, DOL 1.0 will be released by OMG. Here is the timeline

– DOL beta publication:  15 February 2016
– Public comments due:   28 March 2016
– DOL 1.0 submission / change report due date:   15 August 2016
– vote on DOL 1.0 by architecture board — 15  September 2016

Best
Fabian
