ODP

    (ODP) An attempt to standardise an OSI
   application layer communications architecture.  ODP is a
   natural progression from OSI, broadening the target of
   standardisation from the point of interconnection to the end
   system behaviour.  The objective of ODP is to enable the
   construction of distributed systems in a multi-vendor
   environment through the provision of a general architectural
   framework that such systems must conform to.  One of the
   cornerstones of this framework is a model of multiple
   viewpoints which enables different participants to observe a
   system from a suitable perspective and a suitable level of
   abstraction.
