Needham, MA, October 5, 2015 - The Object Management Group® (OMG®) held its quarterly Technical Meeting at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, from September 21-25th. The OMG Board of Directors voted to adopt two new submissions and five revised specifications:
- Archetype Modeling Language (AML) submission - Establishes a UML® profile that enables the specification of the Clinical Information Modeling Initiative reference model, and CIMI clinical models that are defined as a set of constraints on this reference model.
- Interface Definition Language (IDL) 4.0 submission - Describes a software component's interface in a language-independent way, enabling communication between software components that do not share a language.
- CISQ Source Code Reliability Measure 1.0 - Establishes a standard measure of reliability based on detecting violations of good architectural and coding practices that could result in unreliable operation such as outages, data corruption, and lengthy recovery from system failures.
- CISQ Source Code Performance Efficiency Measure 1.0 - Establishes a standard measure of performance efficiency based on detecting violations of good architectural and coding practices.
- CISQ Source Code Maintainability Measure 1.0 - Establishes a standard measure of maintainability based on detecting violations of good architectural and coding practices.
- Essence 1.1 - Defines a kernel and a language for the creation, use, and improvement of software engineering. The Essence Kernel provides the common ground to, among other things, help practitioners compare methods and make better decisions about their practices. The Essence language is a domain-specific language for practices and methods.
- Financial Instrument Global Identifier™ 1.0 - Establishes a structured twelve character string intended to remain attached to a given financial instrument throughout the life of that instrument in addition to serving as a historical reference for retired/obsolete financial instruments.
