• Common Business Objects should provide a starting point for enterprise application developers and domain industry standards groups by providing a common set of business concept abstractions.
• The Business Object Component Architecture should provide the abstraction which hides computational complexities, and enables business objects to interoperate efficiently and reliably in multi-user, concurrent, distributed, heterogeneous environments.
