Short History
IFML is inspired by the extensive 10-year experience of WebML and WebRatio. IFML has been adopted as a standard by OMG in March 2013. In February 2014, OMG issued the Beta2 version of the standard, which is candidate to become the official IFML 1.0. In March 2014, OMG Architecture Board has formally adopted the specification of IFML 1.0 (read more about this here) and has been published in March 2015. You can find more details on the story of IFML adoption as OMG standard by reading this post and this post.
