EMMM

The Open Group Exploration, Mining, Metals, and Minerals™ Forum is an industry forum operating under the auspices of The Open Group. The Forum is responsible for delivering the applicable models and standards for the exploration and mining industry, focusing on metals and minerals, and thus owns the EM Model.

The EMMM Forum is a collaboration between organizations in the exploration, mining, metals, and minerals industry sectors and the suppliers to these industries. It is specifically identified as anindustry vertical effort, since it does not extend its focus beyond the specific industry.

The EMMM Forum applies a disciplined approach to produce an industry reference framework that spans both business and technology in order to support business agility, understand complexity, and enable the acceleration of change towards enterprise goals such as shared services. 
 
The EMMM standard consists of two parts:
  • Exploration & Mining Business Reference Model (diagram)

  • Exploration & Mining Business Capability Reference Map: Concepts & Definitions

This standard delivered by The Open Group EMMM Forum provides a definition of the reference set of business capabilities that exists in the exploration and mining organization.
