ADM Standards Packages

Knowledge Discovery Metamodel (KDM) is the first specification developed by the Task Force. KDM is a publicly available specification from the OMG. KDM is a common intermediate representation for existing software systems and their operating environments, that defines common metadata required for deep semantic integration of the Application Lifecycle Management tools.

KDM Analytics maintains an open Portal for KDM (http://www.kdmanalytics.com/kdm).

Software Assurance

The ADM task force is sponsoring the Software Assurance SIG.
