 20th WCP: Re-Identifying God in Experience
Re-identifying physical objects is "holistic" in that we determine the space an object occupies relative to re-identification of surrounding objects, while at the same time re-identification of surrounding objects depends on a judgment as to what space is occupied.
After all, it is possible for a physical object to change in appearance over time, remaining the numerically same object.
Also, physical objects can be perceived by different people simultaneously because they are all perceiving the same object at the same place, it being a conceptual truth, says Gale, that "two material objects of the same kind cannot spatio-temporally coincide."

 Object (philosophy) - encyclopedia article about Object (philosophy).
Psychical objects exist in the mind in form of psychical entities, according to philosophies tending to explain metaphysics, as opposed to physical objects or physical entities that exist in the universe.
In a further restricted sense, objects do not include anything abstract, but only things located somehow in space and time — minds MIND High School was founded in 1975, in the Bancroft School facility at the foot of Mount Royal, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Objects are often treated as types of particulars In metaphysics, particulars are, one might say, identified by what they are not: they are not abstract, not multiply-instantiated.

 Building Software for Pervasive Computing
Physical objects abound in Pervasive Computing, and object technology is playing a major part in pervasive computing, with objects living on even the smallest device.
Physical objects abound in Pervasive Computing, and, to some extent, object technology is playing a major part in shaping this new computing paradigm.
While software development is challenging, Pervasive Computing presents an additional set of problems, including dealing with the scale of sensing and actuating, the number of autonomous collaborating entities, mobility, and the physical limitations (energy, memory, etc.) of constrained devices.

 Object copy - TheBestLinks.com - Deep copy, Computing, Reference counting, Variable, ...
In computing, the result of shallow copying one object to another variable is two variables pointing to the same physical object in memory.
In computing, a deep copy is copy that contains the complete encapsulated data of the original object, allowing it to be used independently of the original object.
Thus changing the object pointed to by one of the variables will also cause the contents of the other variable to change (since the same object in memory is being altered).

 "Developer's Guide": Using Object Pools
Without object pooling, whenever a client of an extension (typically an application) requests an object, a physical object is created and destroyed when no longer needed.
The purpose of a create-introspection method is to create an introspection object, which encapsulates the data that the Object Pool Manager uses to match a physical object.
An introspection object encapsulates the information that is used as the basis for matching by the Object Pool Manager, and the introspection interface provides access to this information.

 Methods for Distributed Object Computing
A client object sending a message to a server object need not concern itself about whether the server object is located at a nearby physical memory address or is located somewhere remote in cyber-space.
We are now in the midst of a major computational shift toward distributed object computing (DOC).
Although conceptually the differences between distributed and non-distributed object computing may seem small, in practice they are substantive.

In the actor module use the tools for physical simulation to animate an object in your scene.
Remeber that you must first give properties to the object that you want to be affected by a physical force.
Then the Simulate function will calculate the animation for that object.

 Managed Object Definitions
In the physical, tangible world of daily life, managed objects are generally contained in a database reserved for the storage of managed object data, including attributes and values.
In the graphical environment of Solstice EM, however, attributes are considered to be characteristics of managed objects, and are not considered to be objects themselves.
Consequently, from the perspective of a developer of software applications for network management, attributes, the logical representation of the characteristics of objects, are also objects.

 Introduction to Metadata Elements: Library of Congress
Primary objects are usually the digital equivalents of physical library items, such as a book, a sound recording, a movie, a single title of sheet music, a folder of letters, a photograph, or a map.
Terminal Object - The terminal object is the digital content file or files that form the object.
Metadata Levels: A hierarchy of information is proposed to accommodate the diversity of digital objects and to propagate data with some efficiency.

 Panasas  Products  PanFS  Object-Based Architecture
Managing data as objects means parsing files into separate virtual data objects that are striped across smart physical storage media (known as object storage devices).
Data objects can be written to smart object storage devices in massively parallel scale to remove the performance bottlenecks of traditional designs.
For example, data reconstruction in the event of a drive failure can be faster because object storage devices have the intelligence to reconstruct data objects only, not unused sectors on a drive.

 Oracle: What is a schema?
There is no physical "schema" object in Oracle database.
Schema is a logical reference to collection of database objects (tables, views, procedures etc).
Schema is a collection of user(user account) and all the database objects owned by the user.

 Storage Networking World Online - The future looks bright for object-based storage systems
By dealing with objects and not the specific physical placement requirements of block storage systems, the object-based storage system should have some self-management capabilities regarding data placement and access, relieving storage administrators from that task.
With object-based storage, the data is stored as an object with the application that stores and retrieves data defining objects.
This creates new capabilities in dealing with objects that can be exploited by applications and management software.

The observable behavior of objects cannot be expressed by computable functions because objects in software systems have a physical existence in time, called persistence, that causes them to have time-dependent physical properties.

 Object Identity and Pointers
The association of an object with a physical location in storage (as in C++) may change over time.
In persistent extension of C++, object identifiers are implemented as ``persistent pointers'' which can be viewed as a pointer to an object in the database.
This is the persistent form of identity required for object-oriented systems.

 Defining Collections in Distributed Digital Libraries
For example, one index server may index all the digital objects in a selected set of repositories, while another may index specific digital objects for which they have signed licensing agreements.
Queries to these index servers return results sets that contain the URNs of digital objects that match the query (and possibly other meta-information that facilitates the display and handling of the results set).
A digital object is considered contained within a repository if the URN of that object resolves to the respective repository (and, thus, access to the object is only available via a service request to that repository).

 Data modeling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In later stages, this model may be translated into physical data model.
Data modeling is an abstraction activity in that the details of the values of individual data observations are ignored in favor of the structure, relationships, names and formats of the data of interest, although a list of valid values is frequently recorded.
In information system design, data modeling is the analysis and design of the information in the system, concentrating on the logical entities and the logical dependencies between these entities.

 A UML Profile for Data Modeling
Unfortunately data modeling is not yet covered by the Unified Modeling Language (UML), even though persistence-related issues are clearly an important aspect of object-oriented software project.
Similarly, on a physical data model for a relational database it is assumed that any class box without a stereotype is a table.
Data attributes on conceptual and logical data models, as well as columns on physical data models, are modeled using the standard attribute notation.
