NASA Open Source Architecture Wins Apache Support

“Apache has deemed the Object Oriented Data Technology (OODT)
architecture, originally developed at NASA’s Jet Propulsion

projects to receive project management and resource support.

framework for data sharing, but has evolved beyond that for
applications in physical science, medical research, and ground data
systems, according to NASA.”
