Hi everyone,

I'd like to propose Ossie for incubation and seek your feedback on the
project.

I created the proposal here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INCUBATOR/OssieProposal

Apache Ossie comes from Open Semantic Interchange (
https://open-semantic-interchange.org/). It is an open specification
defining a vendor-neutral format for expressing business metrics,
dimensions, and their relationships. It enables any tool to consume and
produce semantic definitions without loss of meaning.

Open Semantic Interchange solves the problem of "semantic drift": the idea
that the same business concept (e.g., "Monthly Active Users") is defined
inconsistently across an organization's systems. By providing a shared,
machine-readable format for metric definitions and their underlying logic,
Ossie allows systems to exchange not just data but the intent behind that
data. Unlike rigid schema-mapping approaches, Ossie achieves this through
standardized ontologies and a decentralized architecture where systems read
semantic metadata directly from the source rather than relying on
point-to-point field translations.

The project provides two main components:
- The specification itself
- Bindings and converters (from different formats)

I'm looking for your feedback and comments.

Thanks!

Regards
JB
