The Object Web Signifies the merger of distributed object and web technologies
The Pragmatic Object Web (POW) asks us to take the best of CORBA (Industry Standard) COM (Microsoft PC Standard) Java (Web Software Infrastructure) and W3C (XML)
An "object" is an entity that can be
  • registered, addressed, located
  • has properties and methods
The most common electronic object is a Web Page
The richest available object model is the Web Document Object Model or DOM
JavaScript is language to manipulate this DOM
Web Browsers render this object
Web Servers broker this object
XML labels POW objects and is converted with style sheets to HTML as GUI for object
