CORBA is a standard (or set of standards), for creating and using
distributed objects, and consisting of formats and protocols.
IIOP/GIOP would be a protocol, and so would the IDL interfaces
of the CORBA Services, if you stretch the concept.  IDL is definitely
a format, and I don't know how to categorize the different
IDL language bindings as either.
