Public Description - OMG

Object Management Group (OMG)

OMG? is an international, open membership, not-for-profit computer industry consortium. OMG Task Forces develop enterprise integration standards for a wide range of technologies, and an even wider range of industries. OMG?s modeling standards enable powerful visual design, execution and maintenance of software and other processes. OMG?s middleware standards and profiles are based on the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA?) and support a wide variety of industries. All of our specifications may be downloaded without charge from our website.

Any organization may join OMG and participate in our standards-setting process. Our one-organization-one-vote policy ensures that every organization, large and small, has an effective voice in our process. Our membership includes hundreds of organizations, with half being software end-users in over two dozen vertical markets, and the other half representing virtually every large organization in the computer industry and many smaller ones. Most of the organizations that shape enterprise and Internet computing today are represented on our Board of Directors.

BPMI

There was at one time a Business Process Management Initiative which held a series of meetings of 5 years, and developed among other things, BPMN. In 2005, BPMI was merged into OMG. The Business Process Modeling Notation standardization work is carried on at OMG today.
