Topic: Object language


  
  Object-oriented language basics, Part 1 - Java World
An OOP language sees a car as an integration of its behaviors -- the functions -- and the variables that hold the car's state -- the data values.
Because an object is an instance of a class, class instance is often used as a synonym for object.
For example, one kind of JVM might assign a number to a reference variable that indexes into a table of pointers to objects, whereas another kind of JVM might assign the object's memory address to the reference variable.

  Object language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computing, the object language of a translation by a compiler or assembler is the language into which a computer program is being translated.
The object language of a translation most often is a machine language, but can be some other kind of language, such as assembly language.
Object language should not be confused with object-oriented language, which is a particular type of computer programming language.

The programming language required to access that data might be SQL, XQuery or both, so the developer must switch from writing in, say, C#, to writing string-based SQL or XQuery commands.
The long-lamented "impedance mismatch" between database-oriented languages and object-oriented programming languages has been a problem for developer productivity and application maintenance for many years, and it has been exacerbated recently with the growth of data-centric XML processing.
For example, a developer who is working with a collection of customer objects and wants to query a list of names from that collection would need to write five or ten lines of code to accomplish that simple task with today's technology.

 What is object-oriented programming? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
A type of programming in which programmers define not only the data type of a data structure, but also the types of operations (functions) that can be applied to the data structure.
One of the principal advantages of object-oriented programming techniques over procedural programming techniques is that they enable programmers to create modules that do not need to be changed when a new type of object is added.
Java, C++ and Smalltalk are three of the more popular languages, and there are also object-oriented versions of Pascal.

 Programming Language Comparison
For example, if a method takes an object as a parameter, changing the type of the object requires changing the signature of the method so that it is compatible with the new type of the object being passed.
Thus, while object-oriented languages strive to remain at a fairly high level of abstraction, to be suitable for systems programming a language must provide such features or relegate such low-level tasks to a language with which it can interact.
The Capers Jones Language Level is a study that attempts to identify the number of source lines of code is necessary in a given language to implement a single function point.

 Sample: The Object Constraint Language
The Object Constraint Language - the OCL is used to specify constraints on objects in the UML.
Starting from a specific object (or a path_name), we can navigate an association on the class diagram to refer to other objects and their properties.
In general, when we apply a property to a Collection of Objects, then the OCL will automatically be interpret it as a collect over the members of the Collection with the specified property.

Abstract: The language BCOOL is formally defined using a denotational semantics approach.
BCOOL is a functional object database language with a very flexible, yet strong and statically checked, type system.
Its main source of flexibility is its support for object evolution, that is, dynamic type changes of existing objects.

 Meta- and Object-language in Information Retrieval Research   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
The distinction between a meta- and an object-language is familiar from the contrast between metadata and the objects described (although the term object-data is not necessarily used).
Antecedents in information retrieval research can be found in analyses of indexing vocabulary, where the metalanguage of index terms (either derived from a thesaurus or classification scheme or generated from the object-language) is differentiated from the object-language described.
The potential transformations have been revealed on analysis to be variations on primitive operations of sorting or partitioning and the transformation of one symbol into another (Buckland and Plaunt 1994).

 Introduction to OMG UML
Three separate parts of UML 2.0 - the Infrastructure (that is, the meta-metamodel), Object Constraint Language, and Diagram Interchange - are still undergoing their first maintenance and will become Available Specifications when this completes.
That is, the new language goes well beyond the Classes and Objects well-modeled by UML 1.X to add the capability to represent not only behavioral models, but also architectural models, business process and rules, and other models used in many different parts of computing and even non-computing disciplines.
During the upgrade process, several additions to the language were incorporated into it, including the Object Constraint Language (OCL) and Action Semantics.

The Object Constraint Language (OCL) is a notational language for analysis and design of software systems.
It is a subset of the industry standard Unified Modeling Language (UML) that allows software developers to write constraints and queries over object models.
These constraints are particularly useful, as they allow a developer to create a highly specific set of rules that govern the aspects of an individual object.
