  13. CCWG Projects • Core Component Message Assembly (CCMA) • Began with ODP step 3 • An initial draft is underway • CCMA specification will bridge the current gap between UMM and CCTS • Meta model allows an easy and consistent mapping into technical protocols such as WSDL (Web Services Definition Language) • Unified Context Methodology (UCM) • Expanded ODP 2 phase • This was required at the request of many major contributors • Significant interest is being realized in this project TMG Report to the Plenary
