Re: Organization ontology

Hi,

Congrats on the initiative.

We have developed e-Administration, an e-Platform for e-Governance. The
details are attached.

It can help to create Communities / Organizations with its divisions such as
- Geographic divisions, Functional activities, Departments, Positions,
Members / Employees, Contacts / Customers, etc. and also track all
communications / transactions.

Best,

shows that in the area of poverty alleviation, we have not done enough.
 History will judge us harshly, unless we seize the opportunity to do more."
