You can't tell the players without a program. DDJ's senior technical editor surveys the world of interoperable objects, from object models to compound-document architectures.
by Mark Betz
The Object Management Group's Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) specification is foundation of distributed-computing systems such as IBM's DSOM and Sunsoft's DOE, among others.
by Sara Williams and Charlie Kindel
Microsoft's Component Object Model (COM) is a component-software architecture that allows applications and systems to be built from components supplied by different software vendors.

The System Object Model (SOM), the linchpin of IBM's approach to interoperable objects, will eventually underlie all of IBM's object-technology offerings, including OpenDoc, the Taligent frameworks, and the Workplace family of operating systems.
by Jeff Rush
OpenDoc is an open-architecture-enabling technology designed by Apple for creating compound documents which can contain many different types of data, such as text, graphics, tables, video, sound, and animation.
by Michael Potel and Jack Grimes
The Taligent system is a web of frameworks that includes an object-oriented application-programming model, a fully object-oriented operating environment, and a suite of framework-based developer tools that complement the programming model.
by Kraig Brockschmidt
OLE 2.0, which is built upon Microsoft's COM, is a component-integration technology for interoperable objects that can be located inside applications, in-process DLLs, or out-of-process EXEs.

Novell's AppWare Bus provides the tools and technologies to rapidly develop client applications that leverage existing network services.
by Dennis Gentry
The Portable Distributed Objects system and Distributed Objects, subsets of NextStep technology, make it possible to construct and maintain complex client/server apps in a heterogeneous environment.
by Ray Valdés
The best way to see how one approach to interoperable objects differs from another is to review actual code.
