<font size=2 face="Arial">Dear CESG members,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">as you can see the OMG is pushing hard.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">As agreed, I have initiated the discussion
with the OMG liaison person, Jon Siegel, to avoid overlaps with the CCSDS
glossary. Nestor and Peter were in copy.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">If I can, I will dial in.</font>
<br>

Space Domain Task Force (DTF) at the </font><a href=http://www.omg.org/><font size=3 color=blue><u>Object
Management Group®</u></font></a><font size=3> (OMG®) is looking for ways
to improve communications with respect to spacecraft ground systems. It
is seeking input on standards and best practices for communications between
people and systems - including vocabularies, knowledge graphs, ontologies
and glossaries that might be consolidated or reused to eliminate ambiguity
and improve understanding. </font>
<p><font size=3>In the past, different contractors have used language and
jargon specific to the functionality of their ground systems to launch,
track, operate and in some cases retrieve satellites and other manned and
unmanned space vehicles. Contractors are now mindful of ways to improve
communications with each other to avoid failures that can be vast and expensive
when building a ground system that supports satellites from multiple vendors.</font>
<p><font size=3>The OMG Space DTF is seeking to normalize the terminology
used within the spacecraft ground systems domain. We are seeking information
on existing or emerging dictionaries, glossaries, or ontologies in this
domain. Additionally, the Space DTF is interested in hearing from organizations
that might be interested in this topic. The Space DTF will use these responses
to either adopt an existing reference or recommend the development of a
new consolidated reference</font>
