  1. XML and Metadata Richard M. Soley Chairman & CEO, OMG

  2. What is the goal? The Global Information Appliance

  3. Sales Engineering Accounting Manufacturing Payables/ Receivables Shipping/ Receiving Inventory The Business Model Every application is part of your business model; you must make them work together!

  4. 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,...

  5. Worldwide Scope 2AB AOL AT&T Bank of America BEA Systems BT CA Citigroup Compaq Cognos Concept 5 DATASUS EDS Ericsson Ford Fujitsu HP Hitachi Inprise IBM IONA John Deere Lucent Mercury Microsoft MITRE NCR Netgenics Nortel Novell NTT OASIS Oracle Peerlogic Protocol Systems SAGA Software SAP Siemens AG Sun Microsystems Telefonica TIBCO TRW Unisys Vertel Xerox

  6. 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

  7. 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

  8. 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)

  9. Integrating the chain • Infrastructure and domain standards enable intra- and inter-company integration of service/supply chain Process A Company 2 Process B Company 1

  15. Merger with MDC • OMG and MDC initiated liaison in 1999 • OMG and MDC committed to integrate OMG’s CWM and MDC’s OIM in 1999 • OMG and MDC merge in Sept. 2000 • Committed to single Common Warehouse Metamodel for the industry

  16. Vertical Standards • Manufacturing: Product Data Management (PDM), simulation, data acquisition, CAD services • Telecommunications: TMN, IN, logging, notification, wireless management • Insurance: risk management • Finance: general ledger, agreements

  17. Vertical Standards • Transportation: air traffic control, road traffic systems, flight planning, rail • Medical Systems: Person Identification, Lexicon, Record Security, Image access • Life Sciences: human genome data, biomolecular sequence analysis • Utilities: data access control

  18. Vertical Standards • Analytical Data Management • Enterprise Customer Interaction Systems • Retail Systems • Space/satellite systems • Human Resources Management • More to come!

  19. Interoperability Standards • A full suite of deployment standards • The world’s only standard A&D • Industry-specific (vertical market) standards including: • Interface standards • Interoperability protocols • Industry vocabularies • Tying it together: a single common metadata standard for data warehouses across industries
