The Object Management Group (OMG) is a members-based organization that is creating open specifications to provide interoperability of distributed software and to assist developers in tailoring software to their own needs. The OMG is best known for its object request broker architecture, known as the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), a platform and language-independent infrastructure for distributed object interaction. CORBA is just one component in the OMG's Object Management Architecture (OMA). The OMA also specifies services for object life cycle management, common facilities for tasks like printing and database access, configurable application-specific objects, and domain-specific interfaces for domains like healthcare or telecommunications that require interoperability between vendor systems. The OMA is continuously evolving. Several efforts are ongoing in the area of computer supported cooperative work (CSCW).
