Who Makes Standards, Anyway?
International Standards ( ISO, IEC )
National Standards ( ANSI, NIST, IEEE )
Industry Standards - formalized practice Object
Management Group (OMG) is of this type
Industry Practice - informal practice
Proprietary Systems - vendor specific

The OMG Process

• Domain and Technology Groups
• Special Interest Groups (SIGs) gt Task Forces
• Utility DSIG is now a Task Force
• Requests for Information (RFIs)
• Requests for Proposals gt the OMG standards
  process
• RFPs solicit specifications from technology
  producers along with a promise to commercialize
  it.

Utility DTF RFPs

• Utility Management System Data Access Facility
• Approved last meeting in Seattle
• Data Acquisition from Industrial Systems
• Joint with Manufacturing DTF
• Will present for approval at Burlingame
• Others being discussed
