Governance of the DMO Foundry is ensured by two bodies:

Advisory Board: is composed of data mining and ontology engineering experts who give their opinion and recommendations on issues submitted to them by the Management Board.

Management Board: oversees the day-to-day  operation and maintenance of the DMO Foundry, tracks new trends in DM ontology development, and determines the policy of admission of new ontologies.

In addition, development each participating ontology is overseen by an independent editorial board:

DMOP Editorial Board: defines the development roadmap of the DMO Foundry's pilot ontology (Data Mining OPtimization Ontology) and monitors all contributions to ensure its consistency and overall quality.
