- OCLC
- See: Online Computer
Library Catalog
- octet
- An octet is 8 bits. This
term is used in networking, rather than byte, because
some systems have bytes that are not 8 bits long.
[Source: RFC1392]
- ODBC
- Open DataBase
Connectivity. An application programming interface to
allow programs to use databases, using Structured
Query Language as its database access language.
- OIW
- Workshop for
Implementors of OSI. Frequently called NIST OIW or the
NIST Workshop, this is the North American regional
forum at which OSI implementation agreements are
decided. It is equivalent to EWOS in Europe and AOW in
the Pacific. [Source: RFC1208]
- ONC(tm)
- Open Network Computing.
A distributed applications architecture promoted and
controlled by a consortium led by Sun Microsystems.
[Source: RFC1208]
- Online Computer
Library Catalog
- OCLC is a nonprofit
membership organization offering computer- based
services to libraries, educational organizations, and
their users. The OCLC library information network
connects more than 10,000 libraries worldwide.
Libraries use the OCLC System for cataloging,
interlibrary loan, collection development,
bibliographic verification, and reference searching.

- Open Shortest-Path
First (OSPF)
- A link state, as opposed
to distance vector, routing protocol. It is an
Internet standard IGP defined in RFC
1583 and RFC
1793. The multicast version, MOSPF, is defined in RFC
1584. See also: Interior Gateway Protocol, Routing
Information Protocol. [Source: RFC1392]
- Open Systems
Interconnection (OSI)
- A suite of protocols,
designed by ISO committees, to be the international
standard computer network architecture. See also:
International Organization for Standardization.
[Source: RFC1392]
- OSI
- See: Open Systems
Interconnection
- OSI Network Address
- The address, consisting
of up to 20 octets, used to locate an OSI Transport
entity. The address is formatted into an Initial
Domain Part which is standardized for each of several
addressing domains, and a Domain Specific Part which
is the responsibility of the addressing authority for
that domain. [Source: RFC1208]
- OSI Presentation
Address
- The address used to
locate an OSI Application entity. It consists of an
OSI Network Address and up to three selectors, one
each for use by the Transport, Session, and
Presentation entities. [Source: RFC1208]
- OSI Reference Model
- A seven-layer structure
designed to describe computer network architectures
and the way that data passes through them. This model
was developed by the ISO in 1978 to clearly define the
interfaces in multivendor networks, and to provide
users of those networks with conceptual guidelines in
the construction of such networks. See also:
International Organization for Standardization.
