The OMG has a request for proposal for Semantics of a Foundational Subset for Executable UML Models. I know that is a daunting undertaking but does anyone here want Rational or Compuware to control the specification? The 34 page RFP is at http://doc.omg.org/ ad/2005-4-2. It takes about half an hour to read. Andromda seems to satisfy the request for the presentation and persistence layer but not the business layer. The RFP prefers a "complete" specification. I don't know if what can be done with OCL would suffice or if an ambitious project to model imperative languages is required.

Is there a member of OMG using Andromda and willing to partner with Andromda on a submission? A university perhaps or NoMagic. A list of OMG members is at http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/apps/membersearch.pl

Andromda has earned a place in the spec and the spec would become relevant if Andromda was part of it. Hibernate has shown an open source project can influence standards bodies, Andromda could have the same success.
