Distributed object based systems for communicating object data among different storage domains
First Claim
1. An object based computer system comprising:
- a first storage domain for storing an existing presentation object;
a second storage domain for storing a semantic object; and
a communications interface for enabling a user of the first storage domain to access said semantic object of said second storage domain by creating a new presentation object in the first storage domain which has a transient data-passing link to the semantic object in the second storage domain.

Abstract
An object based data processing system comprising a plurality of storage domains arranged so that a semantic object in a second storage domain can be accessed by the user of a first storage domain by the creation of a new presentation object in the first storage domain which is linked via a transient communication link to the semantic object in the second storage domain. Each storage domain includes a global object into which the user of the storage domain can place objects to be made accessible to other storage domains and a distributed object containing the global objects of all other storage domains. By opening a distributed object in any storage domain, the user is given access to the global objects of other storage domains, including those of other users.

8. An object based computer system comprising:
-
a communications interface; and a plurality of storage domains, each storage domain comprising; a global object into which a user of said each storage domain can place objects which are accessible to other of said plurality of storage domains via said interface; a distributed object linked via said interface to the global objects of all other of said plurality of storage domains, whereby the opening of said distributed object in said each storage domain provides access to the global objects of all other of said plurality of storage domains via said interface; and data communication means for communicating with all other of said plurality of storage domains via said interface to obtain therefrom a list of the global objects held therein. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)
