Adoption Process
• RFI (Request for Information) to establish range of
commercially available software.
• RFP (Request for Proposals) to gather explicit
descriptions of available software.
• Letters of Intent to establish corporate direction.
• Task Force and End User evaluation &

Object Management Group
Availability
Innovative approach for selection of standard
interfaces to adopt:
1. OMG adopts & publishes interface
specifications.
2. Interface Implementations must be available
commercially from OMG Corporate member.
3. Interface Specifications are freely available to
members and non-members alike.
4. Interface Specifications chosen from existing
products in competitive selection process.
