Vision
Mission
To establish a universal, open standard for describing, designing, and executing organizations as computational systems — enabling seamless collaboration between human architects, AI agents, and software platforms.
Vision
By 2030, every organization on Earth will have an executable architectural model that can be understood, validated, and executed by both humans and machines. OAS will be the lingua franca of organizational design.
Principles
Openness
The standard is developed in the open, with contributions from the global community. No vendor lock-in.
Precision
Every concept is formally defined. Ambiguity is not a feature — it is a bug to be eliminated.
Composability
Small, focused specifications that compose into larger systems. Monolithic standards are rejected.
Longevity
Design decisions are made with a 20-year horizon. Backward compatibility is sacred.
Accessibility
The standard must be readable by both domain experts and software engineers. Multiple representations of the same truth.
