IOF Supply Chain Working Group
Get Involved
Overview and Purpose
The objectives of the IOF SC WG are to identify the requirements of reference ontologies (RO) in the supply chain domain, develop the corresponding Domain-Specific Reference Ontologies (DSRO) and other lower-level ontologies as specified by the IOF architecture, and validate them through multiple use cases. The Supply Chain WG activities are motivated by several use cases including supplier discovery and supply chain traceability.
Meeting Cadence
- The working group generally meets bi-weekly on Thursdays, 10:00 - 11:00 US Eastern Time (New York).
Leadership
- WG Chair: Dr. Farhad Ameri, Texas State University
