Universal Network Objects (UNO) is the component model used in the OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice computer software application suites. It is interface-based and designed to offer interoperability between different programming languages, object models and machine architectures, on a single machine, within a LAN or over the Internet.
Users can implement or access UNO components from any programming language for which a language binding exists. Complete UNO language bindings exist for C++ (compiler-dependent), Java, Object REXX, Python, and Tcl . Bindings allowing access, but not writing, to components exist for StarOffice Basic, OLE Automation and the .NET Common Language Infrastructure.
Universal Network Objects operate within the UNO Runtime Environment (URE).
UNO is released under the terms GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) as free and open source software.
