The onto-std list and the SUO list both started as projects
to develop some sort of standards, and they both became
primarily discussion groups.

The ontolog group was started by some people at Mitre, and
it has sponsored some events at NIST and Mitre, and it has
participation from NCOR (the National Center for Ontological
Research, not the National Conference on Organized Resistance
or the National Council on Ostepathic Research).

Various participants in these groups have been generating
ontologies, but there does not seem to be a convergence
toward anything that could be called a standard.
