The Ontology Project provides a forum for discussing how Ontologies can be developed and used to help active asset managers generate additional alpha. The premise is that search techniques/systems can be improved through integrating Ontology to help investment professionals: increase productivity; surface insights they might otherwise have missed; and build new models for harnessing signals. In a post-MiFID II environment, asset managers must leverage and monetize their multi-asset class “Big Data” - whether internal or external - to ensure better ROI from research inputs. Group membership is open to investment professionals currently employed by asset managers and taxonomy/ontology professionals with an interest in the buyside.
