UML was phase two of OMG. It originally developed CORBA.

Forgive the ignorant question, what made CORBA terribile?

I only used it during university and it seemed overengineered but it mostly worked, and I vaguely recall IDL to be nice.

I'm guessing interop was actually atrocious?

CORBA had the concept of distributed objects which is a terrible idea in practice.

Also BPMN, CORBA and UPOS/JavaPOS.

It's funny that you can legitimately just add " - OMG!" in the slang acronym meaning after any of its creations' names.

They also merged the concepts of Working Group and Task Force into an Open Management Group Working Task Force, or OMG/WTF.
