An object of the ODObjectNameSpace class is a collection of objects, each of which has a unique key to identify the object within the collection.

Description
An object name space allows a part to identify an object using a unique key, which can be passed easily between parts. A part can create an object name space to store a reference to a part object to facilitate communications with its embedded parts.
Your part can create objects of the ODObjectNameSpace class by calling the name-space manager's CreateNameSpace method (page 436), passing the constant kODNSDataTypeODObject for the type of the name space.
Object name spaces can be arranged hierarchically to allow you to search multiple object name spaces for a single key. Searches move from a child object name space to its parent object name space until the entry is found or until there are no more object name spaces to search.
