OOD

   <programming> (OOD) A design method in which a system is
   modelled as a collection of cooperating {objects} and
   individual objects are treated as instances of a {class}
   within a {class hierarchy}.  Four stages can be identified:
   identify the classes and objects, identify their {semantics},
   identify their relationships and specify class and object
   interfaces and implementation.  Object-oriented design is one
   of the stages of {object-oriented programming}.
