Actually CDMI is an international standard now:
http://www.iso.org/iso/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=60617

But you don't have to buy it from ISO to read or implement it. It is available free from SNIA as John says:
http://www.snia.org/cdmi

And it is also hosted at http://cdmi.sniacloud.com/

David Slik (co-chair with myself of the SNIA working group) has a great blog at:
https://communities.netapp.com/community/netapp-blogs/context
where he reports on the increasing adoption of CDMI across the industry.

My own opinion is that customers are looking for stability and interoperability when they ask for a standard and CDMI gives them that.

I think you'll find that object storage is relatively new enough in the storage

used).

I have seen three things, primarily.

1) Amazon S3: huge because the AWS ecosystem is huge.
2) CDMI: s standard promoted by SNIA that isn't widely adopted.
3) OpenStack Swift: part of OpenStack and being added to other storage systems 
too.

Swift has community plugins to support the S3 API 
(https://github.com/fujita/swift3) and the CDMI API 
(https://github.com/osaddon/cdmi).

I'm obviously biased here, but I want to see the Swift API used any time an 
application is speaking to an object storage system. And I think we've made 
great progress towards this goal in the last few years. By using Swift, you 
have support for some of the other APIs out there and you get native support 
for the Swift API itself.
