The W3C GLD working group is discussing the status of the Organization
Ontology [1] which is currently a Candidate Recommendation.
While there is evidence of usage [2] we cannot yet meet the CR exit
criteria for all the terms in the ontology. The group will need to
decide within the next two weeks what to do about this (options include
alternative publication tracks).
If you have, or are planning, a use of the ORG ontology and have not yet
reported it to the working group then please could you do so over the
next two weeks letting us know at least which terms you have used. If
you plan a report but cannot make that timescale then please contact us.
