摘要：The invention disclosed is an object-oriented apparatus and method in a

computer system that offers important advantages over current programming practice inrepresenting and managing ownership relationships of objects. An object can be ownedas a single object or within a list, and it can change owners over time and change frombeing owned as a single object to being owned in a list or the other way around. Anownable object provides an operation to replace itself with a different ownable object.Ownable objects provide operations telling whether they are owned and whether theyare owned in a list. Referential integrity is automatically maintained while giving the highperformance of using memory pointers stored directly within the related objects.
