Who is responsible for the MDA?
The MDA became the official base architecture for OMG specifications by unanimous votes of the technical representatives attending the organization’s meeting in February, 2001. Like all the other work of the OMG, MDA was defined and will be developed by the OMG membership which includes a diverse cross-section of computer vendors, software suppliers, and many end-users. (If your company is an OMG member, please come to our meetings and get involved! If it’s not, here is information about membership and an invitation to join us.) The wealth of experience contributed by these hundreds of organizations is one of the great strengths of OMG’s process, and has been put to good use in defining and refining the MDA. This technical architecture document is the current MDA specification. The initial vision was drafted in late 2000 in this OMG white paper, and subsequently refined with the help of many individual contributors into this technical perspective.
