What is the goal?
The Global Information Appliance
The Business Model
Shipping/ Receiving Inventory
Engineering
Manufacturing
Accounting
Payables/ Receivables
Sales
Every application is part of your business model;you must make them work together!
OMG’s Mission
Develop a single architecture and consensus industry models for application integration focussing on:
– reusability of components;
– interoperability & portability;
– basis in commercially available software.
Focus on swiftly-developed, easily usable (“off the shelf”) component standards.
Use whatever technology solves the problem: CORBA, XML, SOAP, .NET, Java,...

CORBA 3.0
• Provides well-defined packaging for producing components, quality of service, messaging and other technologies
• Full Java and Internet support– Java portability, XML integration
• Quality of Service management– Messaging, Realtime, Small footprint
• Distributed Component Model– Component-based development, scripting
UML 1.3
• The only world standard for analysis & design
• Includes standardized repository (MOF) and repository integration language based on XML (XMI)
• The basis for data warehousing integration (CWM)
• Interoperability at the abstract level
What about XML?
• XML solves the flexible data-representation problem, but lacks protocol maturity, so– integrate it into the CORBA backbone– leverage it in CORBA IDL– use it to specify component
deployment– apply it to repository integration for
UML and the Meta-Object Facility.
• Partnership with OASIS (xml.org)
Integrating the chain
• Infrastructure and domain standards enable intra- and inter-company integration of service/supply chainProcess
