A **Network Object** is an [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:o:object]] whose methods can be invoked by other programs, in addition to the program that allocated the object. 

The program invoking the method is called the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:c:client]], and the program containing the **Network Object** is called the **Owner**.

The Client and **Owner** can be running on different machines or in different address spaces on the same machine.
