The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) is an internationally-recognized standards developing organization. Headquartered and incorporated in the United States of America, SMPTE has members in over 80 countries on six continents. SMPTE’s Engineering Documents, including Standards, Recommended Practices, and Engineering Guidelines, are prepared by SMPTE’s Technology Committees. Participation in these Committees is open to all with a bona fide interest in their work. SMPTE cooperates closely with other standards-developing organizations, including ISO, IEC and ITU. SMPTE Engineering Documents are drafted in accordance with the rules given in its Standards Operations Manual. For more information, please visit www.smpte.org.
This Standards Administrative Guideline forms an adjunct to the use and interpretation of the SMPTE Standards Operations Manual. In the event of a conflict, the Operations Manual shall prevail.
This Administrative Guideline lists the organizations and document types approved for normative references in SMPTE Engineering documents (see SMPTE Standards Operations Manual, Section 10, "Normative References"). Other organizations and/or document types can be used by permission of the Standards Committee as specified in the SMPTE Standards Operations Manual.

From: ST Member Sent: Monday, May 10, 2010 12:18 PM To: st@lists.smpte.org Subject: OMG I have reviewed the materials on the OMG website for open membership, due process document development and patent policy not unlike SMPTE. I believe they are consistent with the requirements in our OMs for a normative reference, and I recommend we add “OMG Adopted Specifications” to our list of approved normative references (AG-03). For more details, the materials are publicly available here: Organization Overview: http://www.omg.org/gettingstarted/gettingstartedindex.htm Membership Requirements: http://www.omg.org/memberservices/index.htm Operational Processes: http://www.omg.org/gettingstarted/processintro.htm Patent Policy: http://doc.omg.org/ipr The UML 2.2 spec (why we’re doing this): http://www.omg.org/spec/UML/2.2/Infrastructure/PDF/ Note that the UML citation from SMPTE should be like any other reference citation, e.g.: “OMG Unified Modeling Language (OMG UML), Infrastructure, Version 2.2, February 2009”. As in any reference citation, a web link is useful but not required.
