An association of software and system vendors formed to create object-oriented technology and computing services standards.

This is a standards organization that defines UML, MDA, and other technologies that are crucial to (but not restricted to) OO software development.

Object Management Group is the industry group dedicated to promoting object-oriented (OO) technology and its standardization.

A nonprofit industry consortium formed in April 1989 that develops standards for distributed objects. OMG standards include the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) and the Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP).

(OMG) An open membership, not-for-profit consortium that produces and maintains computer industry specifications for interoperable enterprise applications.

An international organization with over 700 members that establishes industry guidelines and object management specifications in order to provide a common framework for object-oriented application development. Its members include platform vendors, object-oriented database vendors, software tool developers, corporate developers, and software application vendors. The OMG Common Object Request Broker Architecture specifies the CORBA object model.

A non-profit organization that promotes the theory and practice of object technology for the development of distributed computing systems.

An international standards organization that owns and maintains CORBA and UML standards. [[email protected]

Object Management Group (OMG) is a consortium, originally aimed at setting standards for distributed object-oriented systems, and is now focused on modeling (programs, systems and business processes) and model-based standards in some 20 vertical markets. Founded in 1989 by eleven companies (including Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Sun Microsystems, Apple Computer, American Airlines and Data General), OMG mobilized to create a heterogeneous distributed object standard. The goal was a common portable and interoperable object model with methods and data that work using all types of development environments on all types of platforms.
