Object Management Group (OMG) is 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 March 2003, the latest standard is CORBA 3.0

OMG also adopted the now defunct OpenDoc standard for compound documents.

More recently it has created the standard for UMLUnified Modeling Language UML is a non-proprietary, third generation modeling and specification language. The UML is an open method used to specify, visualize, construct and document the artifacts of an object-oriented software-intensive system under deve and related technologies MOFMOF can mean: Meta-Object Facility Multiple organ failure Microsoft Operations Framework. and XMIXMI (XML Metadata Interchange is an Object Management Group standard for exchanging metadata information via XML. It can be used for any metadata whose metamodel can be expressed in MOF. The most common use of XMI is as an interchange format for UML, alth.
