specification 2.3 of the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA).

  revision of the CORBA specification. 
- Support for the Portable Object Adapter (POA)

- The Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP 1.0) is used as the native protocol.

- The Dynamic Invocation and Dynamic Skeleton interfaces are supported

- omniORB3 does not has its own Interface Repository. However any CORBA
  compliant Interface Repository can be used with omniORB3.
