OMTP is an industry body dedicated to de-fragmenting the mobile web. It endorses W3C web standards for browsers and widgets to provide consistent JavaScript interfaces for location awareness and other device capabilities. OMTP also provides a security layer to restrict access to these interfaces. The group uses an open source reference implementation process called BONDI to quickly finalize standards, which involves commercial implementations and compliance tests. OMTP's goals are to enable innovative location-aware applications through standards for web widgets and APIs.
