[Note: Our Liaison Page as well as many of our liaison activities have fallen out of date. In the Washington DC meeting, November 2002 (deferred from the Orlando and Helsinki meetings… this time for sure), we will be reconsidering our liaison status with a number of organizations. Those that cannot be maintained will be dropped while others will be established and nurtured. Below are some notes on existing or "missing" liaisonships. – Larry L. Johnson, Chair, 22-Oct-2002]
The following is an overview of the organizations with which the OMG has established liaisonships and with whom the ManTIS enjoys active information and technology interchange. Liaisons for each organization are listed. The overviews were abstracted from the web pages of each organization. Click on the Title of each Section to go to that organizations home page.
Reports on Liaison activities are made at each Manufacturing Domain Task Force Meeting. The reports are included in the minutes for each meeting (see ManTIS Meetings Past & Future).
OMG Director of Liaisons: James C. Nemiah, OMG
Discussion of ManTIS Liaisons was held in the Washington DC Meeting – The consensus of this discusssion was that the OAG, Semi, and ISO liai-sons are crucial to ManTIS… others may optionally be taken off. Since attendance was low, we did not want to take a vote on liaison dissolution. We plan to address which liaisons should be dissolved and which should be pursued in the Orlanso Meeting in March 2003.

The Open Applications Group, Inc. (OAGI), is a non-profit industry consortium comprised of many of the most prominent stakeholders in the business software component interoperability arena in the world. It was formed in February, 1995 in response to the rapidly expanding problem of tying disparate software applications together.
The mission of the Open Applications Group is to promote the easy and cost-effective integration of key business application software components for enterprise and supply chain functions for end-user organizations.
The Group does this by advancing industry awareness of issues and solutions regarding interoperability of software business components and working to evolve those solutions into a best practices model while providing an impartial forum for all of the stakeholders in the industry to further improve the model and learn.
TC184/SC4 is a standing subcomittee of the International Organization for Standardization ISO. SC4 is developing standards which provide capabilities to describe and manage product data throughout the life of the product. SC4 is made up of Working Groups and the Quality Committee.
The Committee's work (SC4 N numbered documents) includes development of standards in four areas of product data technology which include:
An overview presentation of ISO TC184 SC4 can be found in OMG Document mfg/99-08-09This presentation was made by Evan Wallace of NIST at the Tokyo Meeting, May 1999 and again in the San Jose Meeting, August 1999
Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI) is a global trade association that represents the semiconductor and flat panel display equipment and materials industries. Founded in 1970 in the United States, SEMI has evolved into a worldwide organization committed to free trade and open markets. The primary goal of SEMI is to help its members expand their global marketing opportunities and improve access to their customers and industry, government and civic leaders. SEMI accomplishes this goal by providing its members with up-to-date, industry-specific information and educational resources needed to manage their company and market their products more effectively.
SEMI represents more than 2,000 member companies worldwide whose combined products and services contribute more than $65 billion to the world economy. Success in the semiconductor and flat panel display industries typically requires an international effort. SEMI members that market their products and serve customers worldwide rely on the expertise of local SEMI offices located in Austin, Beijing, Boston, Brussels, Hsinchu, Moscow, Mountain View, Seoul, Singapore, Tokyo, and Washington, D.C. SEMI's headquarter office is located in Mountain View, CA. Contact information for that office is as follows:
