The Open Group UDEF Project Objectives
The UDEF Project aims to establish the Universal Data Element Framework (UDEF) as the universally-used classification system for data element concepts. It focuses on developing and maintaining the UDEF as an open standard, advocating and promoting it, putting in place a technical infrastructure to support it, implementing a Registry for it, and setting up education programs to train information professionals in its use.
Organizations that implement UDEF will likely realize the greatest benefit by defining their controlled vocabulary based on the UDEF. To help an organization manage its UDEF based controlled vocabulary, it should seriously consider a metadata registry that is based on ISO/IEC 11179-5.

“O wind, rend open the heat,

rend it to tatters.

“I wish to come to know you get to know you all
Let your belief in me and me in you stand tall
Just like a project of which no one tells
Or do ya still think that I’m somebody else?”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Along the journey we commonly forget its goal. Almost every vocation is chosen and entered upon as a means to a purpose but is ultimately continued as a final purpose in itself. Forgetting our objectives is the most frequent stupidity in which we indulge ourselves.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
