This concept has since been widely cited and the concept of a boundary object has been adopted in computer science (particularly computer supported cooperative work), information science, [4] and management, particularly when considering cross-disciplinary work and collaboration, [5] either within one organization or with the boundary object helping to focus the efforts of multiple organizations.
A relic border is a former boundary, which may no longer be a legal boundary at all. However, the former presence of the boundary can still be seen in the landscape. For instance, the boundary between East and West Germany is no longer an international boundary, but it can still be seen because of historical markers on the landscape; it remains ...
Boundary representation has also been extended to allow special, non-solid model types called non-manifold models. As described by Braid, normal solids found in nature have the property that, at every point on the boundary, a small enough sphere around the point is divided into two pieces, one inside and one outside the object. [3]
Metes and bounds is a system or method of describing land, real property (in contrast to personal property) or real estate. [1] The system has been used in England for many centuries and is still used there in the definition of general boundaries.
An object may be composed of components. A component is an object completely within the boundary of a containing object. A living thing may be an object, and is distinguished from non-living things by the designation of the latter as inanimate objects. Inanimate objects generally lack the capacity or desire to undertake actions, although humans ...
The dimension is an intrinsic property of an object, in the sense that it is independent of the dimension of the space in which the object is or can be embedded. For example, a curve , such as a circle , is of dimension one, because the position of a point on a curve is determined by its signed distance along the curve to a fixed point on the ...
Studies in boundary-work have also focused on how individual scientific disciplines are created. [5] Following the work of Pierre Bourdieu on the "scientific field", many have looked at ways in which certain "objects" are able to bridge the erected boundaries because they satisfy the needs of multiple social groups (boundary objects).
The entity–control–boundary approach finds its origin in Ivar Jacobson's use-case–driven object-oriented software engineering (OOSE) method published in 1992. [1] [2] It was originally called entity–interface–control (EIC) but very quickly the term "boundary" replaced "interface" in order to avoid the potential confusion with object-oriented programming language terminology.
