Abstract
An object-oriented framework unifies retrieval and browsing of data locally and from remote computer networks. The framework includes a class of monikers that operate on behalf of a client program to asynchronously bind or retrieve data referenced by a name without blocking execution of the client. This allows the client to provide responsive user interaction including when remotely retrieving data.
