OMiLAB NPO

OMiLAB ≡ Open Models Initiative LABoratoryWe support an active global community for conceptual modelling who benefits from open artefacts. To this end we act as a facilitator to the development of scientific methods and technologies for all those who value models. In addition we act as a platform, where participants can bring in ideas related to modelling and engage in the exploration process.We follow a user-driven approach in our understanding of the term “model”, recognizing that there are useful models in widely different domains like information technology, biology, chemistry or medicine, as well as various functional areas like procurement, marketing, logistics and engineering.Our organization contributes structurally to the community through a worldwide network of OMiLAB Nodes as well as a variety of resources, like:

Knowledge and procedures (e.g. domain-independent methodologies, trainings and documentation)
Technology (e.g. open source software and services), and through
Community building activities.
