The OMPlanet network ecosystem is built around social objects. The social objects can be of different types - material objects, virtual objects, human beings, actions, events, cultural memes, etc. The OMPlanet specifies 12 dimensions each of them representing a specific type of object or a specific dimension of human activity hosted by specific web platforms or services.
Explained in the object oriented design style each dimension contains objects specific to its domain which are interacting and in relation with each other as well as with objects from possibly all other dimensions. One of main objectives is to achieve interoperability by simple and uniform design. We have used the terms 'Data', 'Actions', 'Relations' or 'Services' to describe the specificity of each dimension:
Object Type (Dimension) Defines clearly what the objects are.
Data holds an object's member variables specific to its dimension: e.g. People object is a user profile and as its data contains profile name, unique ID, interest tags, etc.
Actions are the VERBS which show what users can do with the objects. Usually each object is given a unique URL that enables users to share, comment, tag, link, buy, join, help, etc.
Relations holds relational references to other objects from the same dimension or from other dimensions: e.g. "People" object can have relations as "friend" or "co-worker" to several other "People" objects from the same dimension and as well can have several references to "Places" objects with relation types as "work place", "home" or "meeting place", or to "Services" objects with relations as "needed" or "offering", or references to "Events" objects as "participant" or "organiser", etc.
Services describes specific types of web services that are related to the object and provided in a client-server way: e.g. global unique ID generation, geographic map service, etc.
