What is the relationship between COM or CORBA and the DOM

What is the relationship between COM or CORBA and the DOM?

Answer:

The Document Object Model, despite its name, is not an object model in the same way as the Component Object Model (COM). The COM, like CORBA, is a language-independent way to specify interfaces and objects; the Document Object Model is a set of interfaces and objects designed for managing HTML and XML documents. The DOM may be implemented using language-independent systems like COM or CORBA; it may also be implemented using language-specific bindings like the Java or ECMAScript bindings that we define.
