# OntoForge

At OntoForge, we bring together industry professionals and academics dedicated to developing [information models](#user-content-fn-1)[^1] in engineering and technology. All the community action—the hustle and bustle—happens on the **WeDoWind** platform within the **Information Modelling** space.

There, ideas and use cases for information models emerge as community members form expert groups, while still interacting and maintaining close connections with other communities.

On this page, you'll find the results these groups have chosen to publish: documentation of models that have been developed or are currently under development.

### **Our Mission**

* **Unify Knowledge**: Develop comprehensive ontologies that standardize concepts and terminology in engineering and technology domains.
* **Promote Collaboration**: Foster a global community where members can contribute, share, and refine ontological resources.
* **Advance Innovation**: Enhance data interoperability and communication to accelerate technological advancements.

### **What We Offer**

* **Collaborative Platform**: Engage with a network of like-minded individuals passionate about ontology development.
* **Resource Library**: Access a wealth of materials, including existing ontologies, development tools, and best practices.
* **Educational Opportunities**: Participate in workshops, webinars, and discussions to deepen your understanding.
* **Project Involvement**: Contribute to ongoing projects or initiate new ones with community support.

[^1]: Other terms that you may hear are: "*ontology*", "*taxonomy*", "*schema*", "*data* *model*", "*semantic model*", "*conceptual data model*", "*semantic artifact*"...

    All those terms, have their own unique meaning, depending on the context. But we are relaxed here, and prefer not argue over semantics too much.
