What is a stringfied name?
Since the representation of CosNaming::Name is not in a form that is readable or convenient for exchange, a stringfied name is defined to resolve this problem. INS specification defines stringified name such that the mapping between a stringified name and a CosNaming::Name is one-to-one. This means that if two CosNaming::Name are equal, then their stringified representation are equal and vice versa. In the stringified name, the forward “/” serves as a name component separator; the dot “.” serves as ID and Field separator; and the backslash “\” serves as the escape character. A example of a stringified name is;; Inprise.Company/Engineering.Department.
