Welcome to the World of the Open Business Object. OBOE is a consortium of partner companies brought together under the European Union's Esprit program to investigate and develop business systems that take advantage of the principles of Object Oriented Technology. The project will implement (and to some extent anticipate) the Object Management Group (OMG)'s envisioned "Business Object Facility". This will be an advanced platform for Business Objects. OBOE will deliver a set of Business Objects that will demonstrate the use of a Business Object Facility built from platform technology provided by one supplier who is a partner in the project. These Business Objects will illustrate new features such as the capability of Business Objects to be integrated into useful solutions by "users" without the need for special skills.

The OMG is the primary industrial body for the promotion of the standardisation and adoption of object technology. The OMG was formed in April 1989 with the explicit goal of fostering consensus in the "distributed object" industry. The OMG mission is to bring vendors and end-users together in a forum in which agreement can be reached on the technical content of distributed object architectures. Unlike other initiatives in the standards arena, the OMG has no engineering aspect to it. The OMG is a not-for-profit organisation whose sole agenda is to facilitate the membership in the progression of technical work.
