Foil 7 XML and Other Object Models II

From Uses of XML in Distance and Distributed Learning FSU Workshop on Symbolic Notations on the Web -- 8 October 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox
COM and CORBA define their interfaces in a specialized IDL (Interface Definition Language)
Java defines its object interfaces in terms of Java the language
But it does not matter if object is in text file, C (accessed via CORBA or COM), Oracle, Java or JavaScript; one can define interface in XML and map to particular realization
So XML is Universal Object Specification
  • it may or may not be preferred object implementation
