  2. Service abstraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_abstraction

    Service abstraction is a design principle that is applied within the service-orientation design paradigm so that the information published in a service contract is limited to what is required to effectively utilize the service [1] The service contract should not contain any superfluous information that is not required for its invocation.

    Chemical Abstracts Service Building B in August 2009. Columbus, Ohio. STN (Scientific & Technical Information Network) International is operated jointly [4] by CAS and FIZ Karlsruhe, and is intended primarily for information professionals, using a command language interface.

  4. Class (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_(computer_programming)

    An abstract class may provide implementations of some methods, and may also specify virtual methods via signatures that are to be implemented by direct or indirect descendants of the abstract class. Before a class derived from an abstract class can be instantiated, all abstract methods of its parent classes must be implemented by some class in ...

A CAS Registry Number [1] (also referred to as CAS RN [2] or informally CAS Number) is a unique identification number, assigned by the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) in the US to every chemical substance described in the open scientific literature, in order to index the substance in the CAS Registry.

  6. Factory method pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factory_method_pattern

    The factory method design pattern solves problems such as: How can an object's subclasses redefine its subsequent and distinct implementation? The pattern involves creation of a factory method within the superclass that defers the object's creation to a subclass's factory method.

  8. Indexing and abstracting service - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indexing_and_abstracting...

    The word indexing service is today mostly used for computer programs, but may also cover services providing back-of-the-book indexes, journal indexes, and related kinds of indexes. [2] An indexing and abstracting service is a service that provides shortening or summarizing of documents and assigning of descriptors for referencing documents. [3]

  9. Composition over inheritance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_over_inheritance

    Composition over inheritance (or composite reuse principle) in object-oriented programming (OOP) is the principle that classes should favor polymorphic behavior and code reuse by their composition (by containing instances of other classes that implement the desired functionality) over inheritance from a base or parent class.
