In this episode, OMG Chairman & CEO Bill Hoffman chats with David Blaszkowsky, Managing Director of the Financial Semantics Collaborative and Co-Chair of the OMG's Financial Sector Domain Task Force.

David provides the details for the 2025 Semantic Augmentation Challenge to be held virtually on July 22. OMG is inviting data and technology professionals to compete for a $1,000 prize in the Challenge.
Contestants will work with an FDIC bank dataset to create metadata that maps columns to semantic references which provide meaning. You will need to show how your solution helps both humans and machines understand the data, and demonstrate that your approach works with updated dataset versions.
The winning solution will be showcased on the OMG website and presented in Denver (remote or onsite). For more information and to enter, please visit this special event page on the OMG website.
