  • ZOOM: The Z39.50 Object-Orientation Model -- Mike Taylor
    A work in progress to describe a useful subset of the Z39.50 services in terms of an abstract object-oriented API. In order to ground this initiative in reality and make it work for real people building real applications, it needs concrete bindings. We currently have three such bindings on the table: a Perl binding, which is fully implemented and documented, and in use in commercial projects; a C++ binding, which is designed an in the process of implementation; and a C binding, which is in the design stage. This may be considered an alternative approach to solving the problems that ZNG addresses in its very different way,.
