O
Object Management Group (OMG)
The standards body that defined CORBA.
Object Serialization
A Sun Microsystems procedure that extends the core Java Input/Output classes with
support for objects by supporting the following:
The encoding of objects, and the objects reachable from them, into a stream of
bytes
❍
The complementary reconstruction of the object graph from the stream❍
Object Serialization is used for lightweight persistence and for communication by means
of sockets or RMI. The default encoding of objects protects private and transient data,
and supports the evolution of the classes. A class can implement its own external
encoding and is then solely responsible for the external format.
Object Transaction Service (OTS)
The transaction service standard adopted by the OMG and used as the model for JTS.

online transaction processing (OLTP)
A method of processing transactions in which entered transactions are immediately
applied to the database. The information in the databases is always current with the state
of company and is readily available to all users through online screens and printed
reports. The transactions are processed while the requester waits, as opposed to queued or
batched transactions, which are processed at a later time. Online transaction processing
can be used for many different kinds of business tasks, such as order processing,
inventory control, accounting functions, and banking operations.
Open Database Connectivity (ODBC)
The standard Microsoft product for accessing databases.
Open System Services (OSS)
An environment available for interactive and programmatic use with the NonStop Kernel.
Processes that run in the OSS environment use the OSS API. Interactive users of the OSS
environment use the OSS shell for their command interpreter. Compare to Guardian.
