October 14 marks World Standards Day when the IEC, ISO and ITU membership commemorates the cooperative efforts of a worldwide community that develop and publish international standards for a wide range of industries and technologies.
The Object Management Group® (OMG®) has led the way in drafting and publishing technology standards since 1989. Several years ago, OMG decided to submit the majority of its specifications to ISO to become ISO standards. The ISO Secretariat has allocated to OMG a block of numbers, 19500-19699, for the purpose of identifying ISO standards that originate from OMG. A list of ISO adopted specifications is below:

This year’s theme is “Standards Build Trust.” End users, businesses and academia can trust that these international standards, created by OMG members, embody quality, safety, and compatibility.
Trust is also the cornerstone of the OMG standards process. OMG’s one-vote-per-member policy ensures that every member organization—whether large or small—has an effective voice in our voting process. OMG’s balanced, open and transparent standardization process engenders trust in those organizations that use products based on OMG standards.
With the rise of interconnected devices and machines and smart analytics, the Internet of Things (IoT) is spurring new business innovations that weren’t conceivable even a few years ago. OMG members have been working in the IoT space for quite some time which is why its industrial IoT standards are helping to engender the public’s trust in the safety, reliably and dependability of products that are becoming more complex and more connected to IoT-based technologies. OMG's focus on semantic standards—not only moving data around, but capturing the meaning of that data—is critical to the success of OMG standards in many vertical markets, which are key to the Industrial Internet of Things.
OMG has pioneered industrial IoT standards that: link information across connected machines, enterprise systems, and mobile devices; ensure that consumer-sensitive devices (like autonomous cars) operate safely; share threat information and security attacks across different devices, IT systems, and protocols; define ways for devices manufactured by thousands of companies to operate safely and reliably; and analyze and manage the structural quality of IT software to prevent breaches caused from violations of good architectural and coding practice.
OMG is a community of literally thousands of people who have executed its rapid, neutral, international standardization process over one thousand times in 27 years, and will continue to contribute to interoperability, portability, security and privacy for years to come. We thank that community for their support.
