What is the relationship between COM or CORBA and the GOM?
The Gaming Object Model, despite its name, is not an object model in the same way as the Component Object Model (COM). The COM, like CORBA, is a language-independent way to specify interfaces and objects; the Gaming Object Model is a set of interfaces and objects designed for managing computer and video games. The GOM may be implemented using language-independent systems like COM or CORBA; it may also be implemented using language-specific bindings.
