The Concept-Oriented Portal
Concept-orientation is a new emerging programming, data modelling and system design paradigm. The main purpose of this site is to serve as a growing resource sharing and organizing the work and thoughts on this new direction in computer science for those interested in learning about it.
A general discussion forum on all concept-oriented issues. Here you can ask questions, discuss problems, formulate open problems and make other posts related to the concept-oriented paradigm.

Concept-oriented wiki provides a number of articles written in encyclopedia style and defining main terms and notions used in the concept-oriented paradigm including concept-oriented programming and concept-oriented data model.
Concept-oriented blog discusses various issues and observations concerning the concept-oriented paradigm.

FAQ on the Concept-Oriented
Programming (CoP)
This FAQ is intended to answer questions on the concept-oriented programming. In
particular, it introduces and explains main CoP principles, main CoP constructs
and mechanisms, and main CoP programming patterns.
FAQ on the Concept-Oriented Data Model (CoM)
This FAQ answers such questions as what is the concept-oriented data model (CoM)
syntax and semantics, what are concepts and items, dimensions and relationships,
grouping and aggregation. It also covers some implementation issues and provides
a comparison with other data models and data modeling approaches.
