An IP address (abbreviation of Internet Protocol address) is an identifier assigned to each computer and other device (e.g., printer, router, mobile device, etc) connected to a TCP/IP network that is used to locate and identify the node in communications with other nodes on the network.

IP addresses are usually written and displayed in human-readable notations, such as 172.16.254.1 in IPv4, and 2001:db8:0:1234:0:567:8:1 in IPv6.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical decentralized naming system for computers, services, or other resources connected to the Internet or a private network.

It associates various information with domain names assigned to each of the participating entities.

Most prominently, it translates more readily memorized domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for locating and identifying computer services and devices with the underlying network protocols.

By providing a worldwide, distributed directory service, the Domain Name System is an essential component of the functionality of the Internet, that has been in use since 1985.

Freedom of information is an extension of freedom of speech, a fundamental human right recognized in international law, which is today understood more generally as freedom of expression in any medium, be it orally, in writing, print, through the Internet or through art forms.

This means that the protection of freedom of speech as a right includes not only the content, but also the means of expression.

Freedom of information also refers to the right to privacy in the content of the Internet and information technology.

As with the right to freedom of expression, the right to privacy is a recognised human right and freedom of information acts as an extension to this right.

Lastly, freedom of information can include opposition to patents, opposition to copyrights or opposition to intellectual property in general.

The international and United States Pirate Party have established political platforms based largely on freedom of information issues.

Component Object Model (COM) is a binary-interface standard for software components introduced by Microsoft in 1993.

It is used to enable inter-process communication and dynamic object creation in a large range of programming languages.

COM is the basis for several other Microsoft technologies and frameworks, including OLE, OLE Automation, Browser Helper Object, ActiveX, COM+, DCOM, the Windows shell, DirectX, UMDF and Windows Runtime.

The essence of COM is a language-neutral way of implementing objects that can be used in environments different from the one in which they were created, even across machine boundaries.

For well-authored components, COM allows reuse of objects with no knowledge of their internal implementation, as it forces component implementers to provide well-defined interfaces that are separated from the implementation.

The different allocation semantics of languages are accommodated by making objects responsible for their own creation and destruction through reference-counting.

Type conversion casting between different interfaces of an object is achieved through the method.

The preferred method of "inheritance" within COM is the creation of sub-objects to which method "calls" are delegated.
