ODBMS.ORG, the Internet's most up to date resource portal on object database technology, has agreed
to host the resources of the former ODMG.ORG consortium.
This merger gives researchers and students, as well as any software developer with interest in
object oriented programming and persistence, a one-stop experience to find nearly 1,000 resources
aggregated and selected by a team of more than 100 internationally renown experts on object
database technology including names such as Alan Kay, Suad Alagic, Scott Ambler, Philippe Kahn,
Michael Blaha, William Cook, and Carl Rosenberger.
"ODBMS.ORG is an outstanding resource to the community," says Rick Cartell, Distinguished Engineer
at Sun Microsystems and a lead of the ODMG consortium before it was disbanded in 2001. "The group
has done a great job re-igniting the ODBMS research and educational communities. The community no
longer debates whether ODBMSs or RDBMSs are 'best', recognizing that the two will continue to
co-exist. ODBMSs provide the only practical solution for many applications."
ODBMS.ORG (www.odbms.org) provides the Internet's most up-to-date resource portal on object
database technology, backed by a panel of 100 internationally recognizable experts and financial
support from the three leading object database vendors, db4objects (db4o), Progress (ObjectStore),
and Versant.
