A binary standard is understood to be a standard in software technology that defines the data format on the lowest level. The binary standard does not allow any possible interpretation because all data (fields, variables, messages, etc.) are available in a firmly defined set. These data types are specified in byte sequences (e.g. how a string is stored in memory) and there is a fixed mechanism for how a specific block of program code is located and called.

Examples

Component Object Model (COM)

In 1993, Microsoft published the Component Object Model (COM) for reusable objects that could be used by other applications. COM offers language-independent communication between various software components. The COM model creates the prerequisites (under the Windows operating system) to address various software components in a system and to link them with other components. In addition to Object Linking and Embedding (OLE), ActiveX and DirectX are technologies that are based on the COM model.

Some technologies are built on top of COM, such as Object Linking and Embedding (OLE), which made it possible to automate applications. The versions of Visual Basic released after 1993 were designed with COM and OLE in mind. This approach was so successful that a dialect of the language, Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), was chosen as the programming language for Microsoft Office macros.

Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA)

The Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) is a specification for object-oriented, application-neutral programs that mediate between application programs and that defines cross-platform protocols and services. The core of this specification is an intermediary, the Object Request Broker (ORB). In combination with an Interface Definition Language (IDL) and a binary protocol, CORBA supports the binary standard.

Object Linking and Embedding (OLE)

Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) is an object system and protocol developed by Microsoft, which is intended to enable the cooperation of different (OLE-capable) applications and thus the creation of heterogeneous composite documents. While CORBA guarantees interoperability in connection with an IDL, OLE itself defines a binary standard for access to server interfaces.
