• An object-oriented shared library technology developed by IBM that supports defining an interface to an object so that its interface is separate from its implementation. SOM provides an application programming interface (API) to access library metadata, and it allows classes to be defined in one programming language and used in another. A SOM library can be updated without requiring client code to be rebuilt. ← Wikipedia
