Enterprise Objects Framework |
 | | The object environment was the OpenStep environment developed by the company including a single inheritance model based around Objective-C, and a reference-counting object allocation strategy built into the root classes. |
 | | The focal point of the architecture are Enterprise Objects which are intended to be fully portable objects that contain only data and business logic, and are acted upon by the rest of the architecture to be fetched, created, inserted, edited, saved, and deleted. |
 | | The frameworks in their current release (EOF 3.1, fall 1999) are very full featured and handle virtually all of the details of traversing and editing relationships, uniquely identifying an object before and after saving, editing, undo, object uniquing and snapshotting, and more. |
