Hi, (01)
Not that I'm interested in beating a dead horse (*), but the concept of an
Ontologist Body Of Knowledge (OBOK) has been festering in my mind along with
the idea of what would go into some kind of certification that someone is
familiar with it and can apply its principles. (02)
There are a group of folks around here that seem to be coagulating around the
idea of calling themselves "business analysts" and joining groups such as the
International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA), which in turn have
produced a Business Analyst Body Of Knowledge (BABOK), and understanding and
applying the concepts of this document are one of the requirements for
obtaining Certification of Competency in Business Analysis (CCBA). (03)
• The following requirements must be met at the time of applying for CCBA
in order to be approved to take the CCBA exam:
• Minimum 3750 hours of BA work, aligned with the BABOK Guide, in the
last seven years
• Minimum 900 hours in 2 of the 6 knowledge areas or 500 hours in 4 of
the 6 knowledge areas
• Minimum 21 hours of Professional Development
• Minimum high school education or equivalent
• Two references from a career manager, client or CBAP recipient
• Signed Code of Conduct (04)
All of this stuff is $ of course, and the exam is not available yet. (05)

Always the skeptic, I look forward to pestering these "business analysts" the
next time I see one and find out what they understand about ontology driven
development. If you are a member of this institution and/or are familiar with
the BABOK, I would be interested in hearing from you. (08)

results (09)
