Role and main functions

This repository has been set up to support the collaborative work around the development of the eProcurement Ontology (ePO). The repository is divided into different sections:

1. The Ontology development repository branches (this section), for the public distribution of any resource related to the Ontology;
2. The Issues section, where any question, doubt and specific topics are presented and discussed;
3. The Projects section, reserved to organise the TO-DOs tasks, events, project milestones, etc.;
4. The Wiki, a section dedicated to organise and document the final decisions made by the working group and at analysis, design and implementation time.
