The '''Common Object Request Broker Architecture''' ('''CORBA''') is a [[Standardization|standard]] defined by the [[Object Management Group]] (OMG) designed to facilitate the communication of systems that are deployed on diverse platforms. CORBA enables collaboration between systems on different operating systems, [[programming language]]s, and computing hardware. CORBA uses an object-oriented model although the systems that use the CORBA do not have to be object-oriented. CORBA is an example of the [[distributed object]] paradigm.
