In the computing discipline object model has two related but distinct meanings: Originally, the word computing was synonymous with counting and calculating, and a science and technology that deals with the original sense of computing mathematical calculations. ...
1. The properties of objects in general, in a specific computer programming language, technology, notation or methodology that uses them. For example, the Java object model, the COM object model, or the object model of OMT. Such object models are usually defined using concepts such as class, message, inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation. There is an extensive literature on formalized object models as a subset of the formal semantics of programming languages. In strictly mathematical branches of computer science the term object is used in a purely mathematical sense to refer to any thing. While this interpretation is useful in the discussion of abstract theory, it is not concrete enough to serve as a primitive datatype in the discussion of more concrete...

Some programming languages based on the Actor model or other distributed programming models define messaging as the (usually asynchronous) sending (usually by copy) of a data item to a communication endpoint (Actor, process, thread, socket, ). Such messaging is used to implement various RPC services including SOAP which is used for...
In object-oriented programming, inheritance is a way to form new classes (instances of which are called objects) using classes that have already been defined. ...
In simple terms, polymorphism lets you treat derived class members just like their parent classs members. ...
In computer science, the principle of information hiding is the hiding of design decisions in a computer program that are most likely to change, thus protecting other parts of the program from change if the design decision is changed. ...
In theoretical computer science formal semantics is the field concerned with the rigorous mathematical study of the meaning of programming languages and models of computation. ...
2. A collection of objects or classes through which a program can examine and manipulate some specific part of its world. In other words, the object-oriented interface to some service or system. Such an interface is said to be the object model of the represented service or system. For example, the HTML Document Object Model (DOM) [1] is a collection of objects that represent a page in a web browser, used by script programs to examine and dynamically change the page. There is a Microsoft Excel object model [2] for controlling Microsoft Excel from another program, and the ASCOM Telescope Driver [3] is an object model for controlling an astronomical telescope. A computer program is a collection of instructions that describe a task, or set of tasks, to be carried out by a computer. ...
An interface defines the communication boundary between two entities, such as a piece of software, a hardware device, or a user. ...
Document Object Model (DOM) is a platform- and language-independent standard object model for representing HTML or XML and related formats. ...
