Object Management Group (OMG) - OMG is a non-profit consortium dedicated to promoting the theory and practice of object technology (OT) for the development of distributed computing systems. OMG was formed to help reduce the complexity, lower the costs, and hasten the introduction of new software applications. Our goal is to provide a common architectural framework for object-oriented applications based on widely available interface specifications. Our international membership currently stands at over 600 software vendors, software developers and end users.
