In computing, Universal Network Objects (UNO, branded as "Uno") is the component model used in the OpenOffice.org application suite of programs. It is interface-based and designed to offer interoperability between different programming languages, object models and machine architectures, on a single machine, within a LAN or over the Internet.
Users can implement or access UNO components from any programming language for which a language binding exists. Complete UNO language bindings exist for C++ (compiler-dependent), Java, Python and Tcl. Work is in progress for Object REXX. Bindings allowing access, but not writing, to components exist for StarOffice Basic, OLE Automation and the .NET Common Language Infrastructure.
Universal Network Objects operate within the URE: the UNO Runtime Environment.[1]
The OpenOffice.org project makes UNO available under the LGPL as free and open source software.
