There were four separate proposals for the ODM in response to the OMG’s ODM RFP (2003) submitted by the following OMG members: IBM (ODM IBM 2003), Gentleware (ODM Gentleware 2003), DSTC (ODM DSTC 2003), and Sandpiper Software Inc and KSL (ODM Sandpiper&KSL 2003). However, none of those submissions made a comprehensive proposal. For example, none of them proposed XMI bindings for the ODM, none of them proposed mappings between the ODM and OWL, and only IBM (ODM IBM 2003) and Gentleware (ODM Gentleware 2003) proposed an Ontology UML profile. Accordingly, the OMG partners decided to join their efforts, and the current result of their efforts together, is the ODM joint submission (OMG ODM 2004).
