Open Distributed Processing
<standard> (ODP) An attempt to standardise an OSI application layer
communications architecture. ODP is a natural progression from OSI, broadening
the target of standardisation from the point of interconnection to the end
system behaviour. The objective of ODP is to enable the construction of
distributed systems in a multi-vendor environment through the provision of a
general architectural framework that such systems must conform to. One of the
cornerstones of this framework is a model of multiple viewpoints which enables
different participants to observe a system from a suitable perspective and a
suitable level of abstraction.
