The OOA comprises industry, government and research leaders and innovators in ontology development, use or education. The OOA's mission is to develop strategies for ontology recommendation and standardisation, and thereby promote the use of ontologies to industry.

Catalysoft also believes that Ontologies can bring considerable benefits to industry, both as a solution enabling technology and a catalyst for software development
