Object Management Group
<body> (OMG) A consortium aimed at setting standards in object-oriented
programming. In 1989, this consortium, which included IBM Corporation, Apple
Computer Inc. and Sun Microsystems Inc., mobilised to create a cross-compatible
distributed object standard. The goal was a common binary object with methods
and data that work using all types of development environments on all types of
platforms. Using a committee of organisations, OMG set out to create the first
Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) standard which appeared in
1991. As of February 1998, the latest standard is CORBA 2.2.
