Welcome to the Open Graph of IT Ontology

Overview

Open Graph of IT aims to build a semantic representation of all IT and its interaction with business processes and people.

Such an endeavour requires a sound data space as a foundation for computational evaluation of this enterprise space.

Open Graph of IT aims to become the 'IT version' of Google's Knowledge Graph or Facebook's Social Graph.

Hence we need a common language for IT entities and relationships between them.

The OGIT ontology project targets to provide a such common language by defining an ontology for the Graph of IT.

OGIT ontology project is not only hosting place for a specification. It also provides a platform for domain experts to contribute to the ontology. One of the basic principles is: evolution over standardization

Furthermore this is not just an ontology specification.

This is real!

There is an application called GraphIT that allows to manage IT data through a RESTful API ensuring compliance to OGIT ontology

Throughout the docs we often use OGIT as a shortcut for both Open Graph of IT and Open Graph of IT ontology.
