Abstract
Naming plays a key role in the design of any system that exports services or resources. Object systems may export many different categories of names: instances, components of records, types, etc. Operating systems export the names of files, devices, and services. Integrating an object base with existing operating system facilities can improve accessibility of the object base resources. We consider the benefits and pitfalls of integrating an object base namespace with the Unix namespace
