From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Objective \Ob*jec"tive\, a. [Cf.F. objectif.]       1. Of or pertaining to an object.          2. (Metaph.) Of or pertaining to an object; contained in, or             having the nature or position of, an object; outward;             external; extrinsic; -- an epithet applied to whatever ir             exterior to the mind, or which is simply an object of             thought or feeling, and opposed to {subjective}.                         In the Middle Ages, subject meant substance, and has                      this sense in Descartes and Spinoza: sometimes,                      also, in Reid. Subjective is used by William of                      Occam to denote that which exists independent of                      mind; objective, what is formed by the mind. This                      shows what is meant by realitas objectiva in                      Descartes. Kant and Fichte have inverted the                      meanings. Subject, with them, is the mind which                      knows; object, that which is known; subjective, the                      varying conditions of the knowing mind; objective,                      that which is in the constant nature of the thing                      known.                                                --Trendelenburg.                         Objective means that which belongs to, or proceeds                      from, the object known, and not from the subject                      knowing, and thus denotes what is real, in                      opposition to that which is ideal -- what exists in                      nature, in contrast to what exists merely in the                      thought of the individual.                  --Sir. W.                                                                               Hamilton.                         Objective has come to mean that which has                      independent exostence or authority, apart from our                      experience or thought. Thus, moral law is said to                      have objective authority, that is, authority                      belonging to itself, and not drawn from anything in                      our nature.                                       --Calderwood                                                                               (Fleming's                                                                               Vocabulary).          3. (Gram.) Pertaining to, or designating, the case which             follows a transitive verb or a preposition, being that             case in which the direct object of the verb is placed. See             {Accusative}, n.          Note: The objective case is frequently used without a                governing word, esp. in designations of time or space,                where a preposition, as at, in, on, etc., may be                supplied.                            My troublous dream [on] this night make me sad.                                                                               --Shak.                            To write of victories [in or for] next year.                                                                               --Hudibras.          {Objective line} (Perspective), a line drawn on the             geometrical plane which is represented or sought to be             represented.          {Objective plane} (Perspective), any plane in the horizontal             plane that is represented.          {Objective point}, the point or result to which the             operations of an army are directed. By extension, the             point or purpose to which anything, as a journey or an             argument, is directed.          Syn: {Objective}, {Subjective}.          Usage: Objective is applied to things exterior to the mind,                   and objects of its attention; subjective, to the                   operations of the mind itself. Hence, an objective                   motive is some outward thing awakening desire; a                   subjective motive is some internal feeling or                   propensity. Objective views are those governed by                   outward things; subjective views are produced or                   modified by internal feeling. Sir Walter Scott's                   poetry is chiefly objective; that of Wordsworth is                   eminently subjective.                               In the philosophy of mind, subjective denotes                            what is to be referred to the thinking subject,                            the ego; objective what belongs to the object of                            thought, the non-ego.                  --Sir.

Objective C          An {object-oriented} superset of {ANSI C} by Brad       Cox, Productivity Products.   Its additions to {C} are few and       are mostly based on {Smalltalk}.   Objective C is implemented       as a {preprocessor} for {C}.   Its {syntax} is a superset of       standard C syntax, and its {compiler} accepts both C and       Objective C {source code} ({filename extension} ".m").          It has no operator {overloading}, {multiple inheritance}, or       {class variables}.   It does have {dynamic binding}.   It is       used as the system programming language on the {NeXT}.   As       implemented for {NEXTSTEP}, the Objective C language is fully       compatible with {ANSI C}.          Objective C can also be used as an extension to {C++}, which       lacks some of the possibilities for {object-oriented design}       that {dynamic typing} and {dynamic binding} bring to Objective       C.   C++ also has features not found in Objective C.          Versions exist for {MS-DOS}, {Macintosh}, {VAX}/{VMS} and       {Unix} {workstation}s.   Language versions by {Stepstone},       {NeXT} and {GNU} are slightly different.          There is a library of ({GNU}) Objective C {objects} by       R.

object-oriented database          (OODB) A system offering {DBMS} facilities in an       {object-oriented programming} environment.   Data is stored as       {objects} and can be interpreted only using the {method}s       specified by its {class}.   The relationship between similar       objects is preserved ({inheritance}) as are references between       objects.   Queries can be faster because {joins} are often not       needed (as in a {relational database}).   This is because an       object can be retrieved directly without a search, by       following its object id.          The same programming language can be used for both data       definition and data manipulation.   The full power of the       database programming language's {type system} can be used to       model {data structures} and the relationship between the       different data items.          {Multimedia} {applications} are facilitated because the       {class} {method}s associated with the data are responsible for       its correct interpretation.          OODBs typically provide better support for {versioning}.   An       object can be viewed as the set of all its versions.   Also,       object versions can be treated as full fledged objects.   OODBs       also provide systematic support for {triggers} and       {constraints} which are the basis of {active databases}.       Most, if not all, object-oriented {application programs} that       have database needs will benefit from using an OODB.          {Ode} is an example of an OODB built on {C++}.          (1997-12-07)

object-oriented programming          (OOP) The use of a class of programming       languages and techniques based on the concept of an "{object}"       which is a data structure ({abstract data type}) encapsulated       with a set of routines, called "{methods}", which operate on       the data.   Operations on the data can _only_ be performed via       these methods, which are common to all objects that are       instances of a particular "{class}".   Thus the interface to       objects is well defined, and allows the code implementing the       methods to be changed so long as the interface remains the       same.          Each class is a separate {module} and has a position in a       "{class hierarchy}".   Methods or code in one class can be       passed down the hierarchy to a {subclass} or inherited from a       {superclass}.   This is called "{inheritance}".          A {procedure} call is described as invoking a method on an       object (which effectively becomes the procedure's first       {argument}), and may optionally include other arguments.   The       method name is looked up in the object's class to find out how       to perform that operation on the given object.   If the method       is not defined for the object's class, it is looked for in its       superclass and so on up the class hierarchy until it is found       or there is no higher superclass.          OOP started with {SIMULA-67} around 1970 and became       all-pervasive with the advent of {C++}, and later {Java}.       Another popular object-oriented programming language (OOPL) is       {Smalltalk}, a seminal example from {Xerox}'s {Palo Alto       Research Center} (PARC).   Others include {Ada}, {Object       Pascal}, {Objective C}, {DRAGOON}, {BETA}, {Emerald}, {POOL},       {Eiffel}, {Self}, {Oblog}, {ESP}, {Loops}, {POLKA}, and       {Python}.   Other languages, such as {Perl} and {VB}, permit,       but do not enforce OOP.          {FAQ (http://iamwww.unibe.ch/~scg/OOinfo/FAQ/)}.       {(http://zgdv.igd.fhg.de/papers/se/oop/)}.       {(http://cuiwww.unige.ch/Chloe/OOinfo)}.          {Usenet} newsgroup: {news:comp.object}.          (2001-10-11)
