CORBA Today

by Paul Harmon

The Object Management Group (OMG) began developing CORBA in 1989. The idea was that organizations would be moving to object and component technologies and that everyone would be better off if they had a common, open standard to use when they wanted to link together objects or components on different platforms. Throughout the 1990s, the 800-member OMG systematically evolved the basic CORBA protocols and a variety of services to support CORBA development. You could easily argue that the OMG created or at least popularized the idea
of middleware as it advanced the CORBA concept.
