Overview
OMG provides only specifications, and does not provide implementations. But before a specification can be accepted as a standard by OMG, the members of the winning submitter team must guarantee that they will bring a conforming product to market within a year. This is an attempt to prevent unimplemented (and unimplementable) standards.
Other private companies or open source groups are encouraged to produce conforming products and OMG is attempting to develop mechanisms to enforce true interoperability.
OMG hosts technical meetings for its members and interested nonmembers. The Technical meetings provide a neutral forum to discuss, develop and adopt standards that enable software interoperability for a wide range of industries including: Finance, Manufacturing, CORBA, Security and more. In December 2012 the meeting will take place in Burlingame, California; in March 2013 it will be in Reston, Virginia and in June 2013, it will be in Berlin, Germany.
