- Delivery of OMG's Business Process Definition Metamodel (BPDM)
- Business language, vocabulary, and rules
- BIM (Business Information Management)
- EAI (Enterprise Application Integration)
- B2B (Business to Business collaboration)
- Web Services Information and Processes
- Security Policy and Management
- Refinement, promotion and education of the principles, approaches and tenets of Business Process Management within the broader business community
The June 29 announcement also stated that the OMG will continue integrating and reusing complementary business integration and Web services standards such as WS-BPEL from OASIS, WSDL and XML Schema from W3C.
