model in terms of objects and their associated relationships. Contrast with business model and use case model.
A computer representation that encapsulates data attributes and behavioral processes (operations) for an object. Object model software may respond to events, triggers, and requests for service submitted as message stimuli (with a finite set of message types, argument types and message formats). An object model is a graphical representation of the structure of objects in a system including their: identity, attributes, operations, and associations between objects.
Formal description of a programmable object, which can consist of one or more classes, events, functions, interfaces, methods, namespaces, objects, and properties.
The conceptual representation of the problem domain of an application that embodies the business rules being automated. An object model, typically represented with a class diagram, is used to validate requirements, drive a software solution (object design) or to re- engineer the business rules.
a representation of a set of objects and their relationships to one another
a representation of data, which may be either conceptual or in software
a subkind of data model with primitive concepts identity, state , encapsulation, operations/methods, messages, inheritance, polymorphism/overloading
The definition of an abstract representation that is used for real data, devices, operator stations, programs, event conditions, and event enrollments.
The interfaces made available by an object. The Microsoft Internet Explorer Scripting Object Model, for example, lists the properties and methods of the Web browser accessible from VBScript. You can create objects in your projects that have object models of their own through the use of classes.
An abstraction of a system's implementation.
A specific collection of classes in some object modeling formalism.
"Current leading object models are primarily focusing on document usage. They simplify the creation and management of compound documents, where elements of the document are created and maintained by diverse applications. [ ] Distributed object models enable the objects to be used across the network, and, additionally, have facilities for object activation and information passing."
in equipment communications, a static graphic model of objects to show structure-the identity of objects, their attributes and operations, and their relationships with one another.
A database object model is a hierarchy of collections and objects. All tables, fields, indexes, queries, and so on, are represented by objects organized into collections. Each object has a set of properties that define its characteristics and one or more methods that are used to perform various operations on other objects. RDO and DAO are examples of object models.
(Distributed Component object Model) is a set of Microsoft concepts and program interfaces in which client program objects can request services from server program objects on other computers in a network.
A data model for representation real-world entities using the concept of objects which can belong to one of several classes. The classes have a specialization-generalization relationship and contain both data and methods. Objects themselves can be comprised of other objects.
An object model is a collection of descriptions of classes or interfaces, together with their member data, member functions, and class-static operations.
n. 1. The structural foundation for an object-oriented language, such as C++. This foundation includes such principles as abstraction, concurrency, encapsulation, hierarchy, persistence, polymorphism, and typing. See also abstract data type, object (definition 2), object-oriented programming, polymorphism. 2. The structural foundation for an object-oriented design. See also object-oriented design. 3. The structural foundation for an object-oriented application.
